The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) --- currently has the
following second level domain names reserved which can be used as
examples.
example.com
example.net
example.org
(RFC 2606)
Note that the above quote says "used as examples", not "used as a test
bed". Since those domains are subdomains of existing TLDs, DNS lookups
will behave differently than for e.g. the "test." TLD.
".test" is recommended for use in testing of current or new DNS
related code.
