ITS Domain Name Policy and Procedures
1/11/01
ITS offers faculty and staff a service to host either a domain
name (e.g. www.myorganization.org ) on a departmental or personal machine on the Wesleyan
network, or an IT-managed machine (usually on condor) which will answer to a non-Wesleyan name (e.g. www.myorganization.org
). ITS also offers the option to host a top-level website in support of faculty and staff professional activities (e.g. www.wesleyan.edu/myorganization ) This
document identifies the terms under which this service is
offered. Faculty can get help interpreting this policy by contacting their
Academic Computing Manager. Staff can get help from the Director of
Administrative Systems. Users of this service should be aware that the
normal restrictions both on disk space (the size of the site) and
bandwidth
(the amount of data transferred over the network) pertain.
