Does .example exist?

Not really. No — .example is reserved for documentation, alongside example.com.

The full story

RFC 6761 reserves .example (and example.com/.net/.org) for use in documentation and tutorials, so sample code never accidentally points at a real site. Not registrable, by design, forever.

Wondering about another extension? Every real TLD is in the directory.
