Example domains and IPs

Eric Hodel | Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:58:28 GMT

I'm always forgetting this information. Here's a handy reference for example domain names, example IPv4 addresses and example IPv6 addresses.

Example Domain names

From RFC 2606:

.test
For testing DNS related code
example
example.com
example.net
example.org
For documentation or as examples

IPv4 Addresses

From RFC 3330:

192.0.2.0/24 is used for documentation and example code.

198.18.0.0/15 is used for benchmark tests of network interconnect devices. See RFC 2544

IPv6 Addresses

From RFC 3849:
