The plan is to keep the world at bay by never recording it in the DNS root – like many already do with a subdomain for an intranet

    And .home.

    Hopefully this .Internal domain takes off and becomes generally recognized as the only correct non-routable domain we all use. Otherwise it’s just the latest addition to the list of possible TLDs and confusion continues.

          That one is absolutely abhorrent because I know as a fact my parents would easily fall for a .zip domain leading to a virus infested site thinking it’s actually them getting a zip file because they don’t know better. At least the first few times they’d fall for it.

            How would you know?

            Edit: Sorry I meant how would you yourself know whether it’s a file or domain
