.test
Encyclopedia : T : TE : TES : .test
.test is a reserved top-level domain not intended for real use in the global DNS. It was defined in June 1999 by RFC 2606, along with .invalid, .localhost, and .example. The TLD was created to provide an address space for private testing (e.g. of code) and for experimentation in areas related to DNS, such that conflict with global DNS can be avoided.
