You can call it anything you want save of whitespace (albeit I personally haven't tried emoji or other non-ASCII shenanigans :))

Thank you. Why is it that all examples in this thread use `.com` somewhere in the middle of the string used for the `host` field?
I guess if you have a more complex matrix of personas and remote servers (not only GH), structure and predictability becomes more important than terseness.

But again, it's just personal preference.

Personally I just found it natural to tack on a suffix. But you do you :)
Why is it natural? Do hosts usually have a suffix? Why?
