Note about new third level domains (e.g. mysite.wisc.edu)
The criteria the Hostmasters apply and the chain of escalation for approval are outlined in
KB17471:
'New third level names should represent a division, school, college,
department, office, center or other organizational unit of the university, or a function of the university as a whole, or a service
offered to the university as a whole. Third level names that represent particular projects or localized services are discouraged,
even if the project or service involves multiple units of the university. DoIT staff may suggest an alternative, usually a fourth
level name derived from a previously approved third level name. If the requester feels the original name should be used, DoIT staff
will escalate the request.'
In the
Description field below please provide details about who the audience is and the content of the site which we will provide to
the hostmasters, so they can determine if a third level domain is warranted.
Alternatives: Consider building off your existing third-level domain, such as:
- yoursite.doit.wisc.edu
- yoursite.services.wisc.edu
- yoursite.department.wisc.edu
To help ensure that our customers receive the most from our service, we want to remind you that we offer a free Bronze level hosting account. This comes with 5GB of space and does not incur any setup fees. This account would be separate and have it's own login.
To apply for a new free account, complete the form at webhosting.doit.wisc.edu/apply
If your needs require that this account be under the same login or foresee needing the use of scripting at some point in the future, we are happy to create this under your existing account. The standard set-up fee for adding a domain would apply (see https://kb.wisc.edu/webhosting/page.php?id=29526).
