The .local suffix should be avoided on MacOS because it is used by MacOS Bonjour service.

You can look at Apple explanation page where they recommend to use other suffixes like: .private, .intranet, .internal, or .lan.

I personally use .localhost, .test or .example.

As a side note, it's also not to recommended to use .dev because Chrome 63 started requiring a SSL certificate for this suffix.

Hope this helps!
