Public DNS Pointing To localhost (127.0.0.1)

Available Wildcarded DNS Domains

It turns out that some kind hearted people already set up wildcarded domains for you already. You can use any domain below and/or any subdomain of these and they will always resolve back to 127.0.0.1 (your local machine). Here's the list of ones I know about. Let me know if there are more!

  • localhost - It will always works. Do you know why? I hope so.
  • [*.]fuf.me - Managed by @fidian; it will always point to localhost for IPv4 and IPv6
  • [*.]localtest.me
  • [*.]127-0-0-1.org.uk
  • [*.]vcap.me
  • [*.]yoogle.com
