At onetime yes under the following
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc952 but now under
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1123#page-13 there
should be no issue. After all there is 1&1 IONOS
and 123-reg.co.uk both
start with a number.

OK - I'll carry on.
It's not actually the host name, but a web page name. I assume the same RFC covers that too.

Although a page can start with a number, IDs and object names cannot start with a number because then styles and scripts may not work.
This also means that if you have enabled 'include page name in automatically generated ID attributes' and the page name starts with a number that the page may not be rendered correctly.

OK - I'll add
a letter at the
start, just in case.
