.com or .local

Hi

 

I was wondering if there are any resources anywhere that lists the benefits

and pitfalls of using .com (or other TLD) over .local when creating a new

domain?

 

Thanks

RE: .com or .local

 

never use your dns domain name as uour website name.f.i. when your website is

http://www.mycompany.com never give your internal dns the same name.if you do,you

get problemens with for example connecting to your website from inside.

RE: .com or .local

 

Thanks

 

@ Johan Strange, Reading link now! thanks for that

 

@ Johan deheugden, I have always used .local when creating a domain, however

in nearly all my Microsoft books, they recommend .com and I just can not see

any benefit, so I just wanted to get a better picture.

 

As for not being able to see the website from outside if you use your tld...

I have that problem! but that is more of a router issue! :P

 

Anyway,

 

Thanks both of you.

if you use a contigeous namespace you can access your website by adding an A

record to your internal DNS called www with the external IP of your Website
