How to choose a sensible local domain name for a home network?
Is there any convention on possible naming for local domain names (like .local), apart from not using any possible or existing top-level domain?
Wikipedia says that
- .local conflicts with zeroconf
- .localhost is reserved, but is traditionally translated statically to 127.0.0.1
- .site and .internal are discussed
Top Answer/Comment:
On July 29, 2024, ICANN formally accepted and reserved .internal TLD for private-use applications.
Approved Resolutions at Special Meeting of the ICANN Board on 29 July 2024:
a. Reserving .INTERNAL for Private-Use Applications
Resolved (2024.07.29.06), the Board reserves .INTERNAL from delegation
in the DNS root zone permanently to provide for its use in private-use
applications. The Board recommends that efforts be undertaken to raise
awareness of its reservation for this purpose through the
organization's technical outreach.
Usage example: nas.home.internal
