The domain names '''example.com''', '''example.net''', '''example.org''', and '''example.edu''' are [[second-level domain]] names in the [[Domain Name System]] of the [[Internet]]. They are reserved by the [[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority]] (IANA) at the direction of the [[Internet Engineering Task Force]] (IETF) as [[special-use domain name]]s for documentation purposes. The domain names are used widely in books, tutorials, sample network configurations, and generally as examples for the use of domain names. The [[Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]] (ICANN) operates websites for these domains with content that reflects their purpose.
