There are many DNS names options. Which one do you use?

    You shouldn’t use .local for your manually defined local domain names if you plan to ever use mdns/avahi/bonjour/zeroconf.

    For local DNS home.arpa is I think what we’re ‘supposed’ to use, but I use .lan

    Only use another domain name if you actually have it registered, like myname.net or something. As a bonus you can then get a wildcard letsencrypt SSL cert for easy HTTPS.

    I bought a .com for like $10 CAD from Cloudflare that uses a URL not linked to me.

    Maybe overly paranoid, but it also makes it easy to get SSL certificates for my lab.

    *.internal.domain.name since ssl certs are easier to get when you’re using an owned domain name.

    I use either .home or an actual domain that I own (makes it easy for https certs and not having to go out of the network and back in)

    I use different ones. Got an legit dpmain which I also use locally (with ssl certificates) and in my local network my server listens to SERVI. Just SERVI.

    hostname.vlan.local.lan

    local.lan is the only fixed part of my fqdn’s
