What is you go to platform/site for searching for Micro domains and domain hack?
I'm looking for something just for "internal use" and nothing fancy... Just a short domain/hack to allocate names to servers and to use in develop/tests.
Micro/short domains. This domain will be used to give names to servers, develop and testing and it must/can be any public TLD - internal was not the best word.

Well, the short ones are expensive and are mostly taken.
For development/test, I believe there are cheaper options like .cyou, .sbs, .xyz, .cfd etc.
I run Pi-Hole at home and with the local DNS built into Pi-Hole I use *.svp for all my local machines, and *.ts for servers connected through tailscale.
Well, the quickest solution is to modify your hosts file and direct anything to anything... if you want a quick hack that would work with any domain (short or long).
If its only for testing, www.freenom.com have a bunch of free TLD's (.tk/.ml/.ga/.cf/.gq).
I would not run any production on them, but they work great for testing, I have a few of my own.

You can use any domain you like, just add that do you hosts file or use at your own router DNS.
What are "Micro domains"?
like a.com or a.a or something like this problably
Ok the first one makes sense but not the latter
If I understand well what he expects, he wants the shortest local domain possible, so instead of ".local" or ".localdomain", he can just set ".a".
if "internal use" == local network
I've used https://domai.nr/ for this in the past.
Cheap dedis are my drug, and I'm too far gone to turn back.

Unfortunately my source for these is long gone, but you can see what it looked like here:

Yeah I know the person who owns/developed that.
