Depends. Avoid any valid top-level domain and any domain that
doesn't belong to you. It could cause confusion when such a hostname
from your private LAN makes it onto the Internet (for instance,
www.example.net and www.mydomain.com do exist, the domain .home.net,
too). Feel free to use something which does not exist or is unlikely
to be created, e.g. hostname.example, hostname.localdomain,
hostname.intranet.
