Setting An Example

Until fairly recently, I hadn’t realised that as well as there being reserved top level domains (localhost being the most common, plus test, example and invalid), there are some second level domains reserved for documentation, testing, etc.:

• example.com
• example.net
• example.org

If those domains are too stuffy for you, you can currently view the same ‘official’ page via the er… slightly less formal-sounding sexdwarf.org

(The IP must’ve been used for other hosting in the past and still has several domains’ DNS records pointing at it, and the web server is configured to show that page for any domain)
