.example is a reserved top-level domain (TLD) not intended for production use in the public global Domain Name System (DNS). It was defined in June 1999 by RFC 2606, together with .invalid, .localhost, and .test.

The stated purpose for the creation of ".example" is to provide a TLD which can be used for examples in documentation and other technical writing, such that conflict with the global DNS can be avoided.
