Network Engineering
Domain Name Management
Tufts' Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure is maintained by Network Engineering.
Network Engineering currently maintains the tufts.edu domain. We also provide DNS resolution service for perseus.org. Changes to records within these domains are generally processed through our IP Database, Cardinal.
While we cannot register and maintain a vanity DNS name for you, you
are free to register it yourself with the name registration company of
your choice (InterNIC provides
The Accredited Registrar Directory.)
Having registered the
domain name, you can configure any hostname within that domain to resolve
to the IP address of your server here on campus. This option is used
successfully by some groups at the University. If you have any questions or are looking for assistance feel free to contact us.
Regardless of how you elect to proceed, we encourage you to contact the
University Relations Web Communications to make sure that you're "plugged in" to other
University web activity and news.
