Requesting A Domain Name

Home › How-Tos › Requesting A Domain Name
 

If the standard directory setup (www.egr.msu.edu/yoursite) is not adequate, requesting a domain setup is possible. This can be done for any number of reasons, including hosting a conference, a large grant/research project or for an MSU initiative. If the requested domains are going to be hosted at engineering, these domain requests can be sent to DECS for simple setup (network and server setting configurations).

External Domain Name

An external domain name includes .org, .com, .net, etc... External domains are purchased from 3rd party registrars. DECS can help you obtain these domains or assist you with obtaining a domain.

MSU/EGR Domain Name

MSU (yourhost.msu.edu) and Engineering (yourhost.egr.msu.edu) domain can be obtained and setup to use the DECS webserver. MSU/EGR domain names are approved through our department.  MSU domains, once submitted to DECS will be passed along to ACNS for approval and DNS setup.
