Aye... but what should you use ?
AFAIK the only reserved domains are .example.org, .example.com, .example.net,
.example, .localhost, .invalid, and .test
Which are all reserved for things like documentation, testing, etc...
The general suggestion is to make a subdomain of your real domain
which is only accessable from inside, like internal.mydomain.com
which isn't the bestest idea ever... (I don't need a real domain at home).
I've used the likes of .local and .internal in the past (and .internal.nw
when I came across some stoopid software that insisted it needed at least
two dots in its domain name!!).
