Avoid using `.local`. In my experience Chrome does not like it with HTTPS. It takes much much longer to resolve. I found a Chrome bug relating to this but do not have it handy to share. `.localhost` makes more sense for local development anyways.

I recommend using the .test TLD.

* It's reserved so it's not going to be used on the public internet.

* It is shorter than .local or .localhost.

* On QWERTY keyboards "test" is easy to type with one hand.
