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.
