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
^
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.
