Don't use .dev either, it is/is going to be a TLD now: https://icannwiki.com/.dev.

There are some reserved suffixes, including .localhost and .test: https://iyware.com/dont-use-dev-for-development/.



.localhost will be dropped as DHCP search domain by systemd-networkd, see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2258

Not sure if that is important for the use-case at hand, but it was the reason why I stopped using .localhost in my LAN (in favor of just using plain hostnames, e.g. “x1”).


I typically use .lan - short and to the point.
