I use .localnet to go with the name of localhost, as this has been suggested by ... one of the RFCs, but I can't remember which.

If .localnet ever becomes a real TLD, well, I'm pretty sure the entire global infra is going to collapse and not necessarily be my problem.

Edit: And to be clear, I'm doing this for my house, not some enterprise setup; using real actual FQDN for internal services at a company, especially one that is multi-site/cloud, is still the best advice.




I’ve seen localhost.localdomain often but I’m not sure whether it’s actually reserved.
