It all started when was duckduckgo for Lucifer Netflix series and I ended up with ping lucifer and ping hell and the response says it is on the internet but is my local subdomain. What? :what:

Code: 
[@machine ~]$  hostname
machine.STUDIO
[@machine ~]$   grep -Ei "lucifer|hell" /etc/hosts
[@machine ~]$  cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 208.67.222.222

Question #1: If lucifer and hell are not in my /etc/hosts, why ping says PING lucifer.STUDIO ?

Code: 
[@machine ~]$  ping lucifer
PING lucifer.STUDIO (34.102.136.180): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 34.102.136.180: icmp_seq=0 ttl=116 time=26.449 ms
64 bytes from 34.102.136.180: icmp_seq=1 ttl=116 time=26.108 ms
^C

2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 26.108/26.278/26.449/0.171 ms
[@machine ~]$  ping hell
PING hell.STUDIO (91.203.110.230): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 91.203.110.230: icmp_seq=0 ttl=49 time=251.190 ms

Question #2: Are lucifer and hell Brand TLDs ? How can I search for Brand TLDs ? whois has nothing for these names. 🤔
 
search - Search list for hostname lookup. This is normally determined by the domain of the local hostname.

Your hostname domain part is "Studio" which is registered TLD and anything that you ping without FQDN is resolved with .STUDIO to the DNS.
You can change your hostname domain to .LOCAL or add "search TLD" in your resolve.conf (if your are using DHCP, change the domain in your DHCP server)

Chapter 14. Configuration, Services, Logging and Power Management

This chapter explains much of the FreeBSD configuration files, how to enable or disable a service, how to configure the logging system and the power management area.

lucifer and hell are "hosts" on TLD .studio

hostname.domain.
hell.studio.
lucifer.studio.
 
How about writing it correctly? With an l, not an i? What then?
 
Guys, thanks . I understood what is happening.

@loozer , your host is not resolved for me.

Code: 
[@machine ~]$  ping loozer                                                                                                           
ping: cannot resolve loozer: Unknown host                                                                                            
[@machine ~]$  ping ioozer                                        
ping: cannot resolve ioozer: Unknown host

I never new it was a registered TLD! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm so stupid ! Dude, I was so curious about what was happening, never noticed studio was a TLD. The machine is not possessed O:‑)

BTW, the command whois lucifer.studio on my Linux system gives even more information than your result on FreeBSD:

I cut the result, because it is too long. I edited the thread to indicate they are excerpts.

BTW, I don't know about whois.net, never used. I use the whois command line, only.
