Does .internal exist?

Not really. No — .internal was reserved in 2024 as the official TLD for private networks.

The full story

ICANN designated .internal in 2024 as a guaranteed-never-delegated string for private-use networks — the sanctioned answer to everyone who was squatting .local, .lan, or .corp internally. Google Cloud already uses it for internal hostnames. It will never be publicly registrable, on purpose.

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