.localdomain was (yes *was*) a private domain for The Microsoft Network, just like .onion domain for the TOR network.

localhost is the name of the PC/tablet/phone/whetever you are currently working at. If you are using it as a TLD for your whole LAN or private network, please unplug your machine and let the Interenet recover.

.local is the network TLD for private use.
