I use ".test" to respect RFC-6761 [1] which reserves four TLDs: .example, .invalid, .localhost, and .test; as many of us already know ".dev" is owned by Google

I use ".test" to respect RFC-6761 [1] which reserves four TLDs: .example, .invalid, .localhost, and .test; as many of us already know ".dev" is owned by Google [2] and both ".local" [3] and ".app" [4] are reserved for the root zone so it doesn't makes any sense to use any of them for local development. So I use ".test" for my personal projects and ".[company]" for projects related with my job.

- kijeda 10y ago.local is reserved, but not for delegation in the root zone. RFC 6762 reserves it for Multicast DNS on a local network.
- Sevrene 10y agoThanks for the solid information! I like me some standards, might have to start using .test from now on.
- bitJericho 10y agoMy local network has a proper domain, so I use a subdomain for any dev work.
- xs83 10y ago.local will also cause massive delays if you have a mac on your network
