Example Domain is a domain used for illustrative examples in documents. It is a reserved domain name that can be used in literature without prior coordination or permission. The domain name example.com, along with example.net, example.org, and example.edu, is reserved for documentation purposes and examples. It was reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and implemented by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in RFC 2606. The purpose of reserving these domain names is to provide a naming convention that can be used in technical documentation, manuals, and sample software configurations without the risk of naming conflicts. The example.com domain is managed by ICANN and uses DNSSEC to handle the internet protocol (IP) addresses of digitally signed web servers. It is a vendor-neutral and comprehensive approach to using domain names for demonstration purposes.
