Aren't there standards for this kind of thing? When you want a placeholder domain? e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.exa

Aren't there standards for this kind of thing? When you want a placeholder domain?
e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.example and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.invalid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.invalid
- pnathan 14y agohttp://subdomain.localhost http://subdomain.localhost should solve that problem...
- mistercow 14y agoexample.com also exists specifically for this purpose.
- jerf 14y agoYes, but effectively nobody has ever heard of them. I've had to train a lot of both my local QA and devs to do this properly.
- chimeracoder 14y agoYes - example.com For testing emails, don't use foo@bar.com (that's a real email address!) or anything else that you can come up with. RFC 2606 guarantees that those domains be reserved for test/placeholder use.
- ams6110 14y agomydomain.com is another "real" site that many people use in example scenarios. It's actually a domain registrar.
- jrockway 14y agoI personally use example.invalid. It's immediately obvious that it's an example and invalid :)
