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^

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.
