netlocal.name

The purpose of this domain is to create a private address space in the DNS system as a public resource. It will be analogous to the private address ranges in IPv4 and IPv6.

The guarantee that I, the current owner of netlocal.name, give you, the general public, is this:

No subdomain of netlocal.name^* will be entered into the public domain name system for as long as I have ownership of the domain netlocal.name.

^{* i.e. domains matching *.netlocal.name[^](#a1)}

I plan to keep this guarantee as long as I have ownership of netlocal.name. I currently own it through May 2030.

This means that you can set and use *.netlocal.name domain names freely in your own private networks without any fear of collisions with public domain names.

Suggested names:

• home.netlocal.name
• files.netlocal.name
• router.netlocal.name
• living-room-pc.netlocal.name
• intranet-site.netlocal.name
• build-server.netlocal.name
• firewall.netlocal.name
• gateway.netlocal.name
• http.netlocal.name
  • I advise against setting up https on this subdomain. This will keep it clear for intentionally triggering http redirects to Wi-Fi sign on pages and such.

If you want to get in contact with me or put money behind the continued availability of this public resource you can post a comment or open an issue here.
