It depends on how you define the domain of $f'(x)$. For me the definition of the domain of $f'(x)$ is $$\mbox{dom}(f')=\left\{x\in\mbox{dom}(f): \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\ \ \ \mbox{exists and it is finite}\right\}$$ so $\mbox{dom}(f')\subseteq\mbox{dom}(f)$ by definition.
Note that $x$ must be an element of $\mbox{dom}(f)$ because you have to evaluate $f$ in $x$ to build the limit that define the derivative. (Hope it's clear, I don't speak english so well.)
An example. Consider $f(x)=\ln(x)$. Its domain is $\mbox{dom}(f)=(0, +\infty)$ and its derivative is $f'(x)=\frac{1}{x}$.
The "natural domain" of $y=\frac{1}{x}$ is $\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}$ while $\mbox{dom}(f')=(0, +\infty)$.
