My institution is a community college. May I register a domain within the .edu top-level domain (i.e., mycommunitycollegename.edu)?
A. Formerly the .edu TLD was reserved for four year colleges and universities. The new requirements, along with information about transitioning to the new system, can be found on the website of the new .edu domain administrator, Educause. All rules governing the .edu domain will remain in place, except for the addition of accredited two-year colleges. Proof of accreditation is required at the time of registration. For .edu domains MOREnet is able to provide technical support and zone file hosting, but the administrative task of applying for an .edu TLD should be done by the organization. If the organization wants MOREnet to host the DNS information, a representative should contact MOREnet and MOREnet technical support will assist with any technical questions.
