source and coordination for netlocal.name

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.
