I believe there is test domain reserved for similar usage. Or home.arpa
domain.

Organizations should use their own (sub)domain, especially if they use
DNSSEC. Individuals usually lack domain they can control. Organization
often lack good practices to limit some subdomain for private usage.
Complicated setup of secure delegation on some DNS providers might be
responsible.

I think dns search suffix might help with longer domains usage. But it
is also considered insecure.
