- yaccz 6y agoSome second level example addresses are actually reserved and not for use. See rfc 2606.
- WorldMaker 6y agoThis one actually almost makes sense because of RFC 2606 [1]. It reserves the .example TLD as well as example.com, example.org, and example.net as only example domains that cannot/should not be used. Back when .com/.net/.org were "the only TLDs that matter" a blanket check for example in the second level made some sense, and/or to just assume that RFC 2606 would apply to future TLDs (despite it being quite specific in which domains it reserved).
