DOMAIN REGISTRATION TEMPLATE
FOR CSNET AND UUCP SITES
Please provide the following information to the NIC Domain Registrar.
Hostmaster may be reached by electronic mail (HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL),
or by phone at (703) 802-4535 or 1-800-365-3642.
Please Note: The key contacts will be registered in the NIC WHOIS
database. If these individuals are not already registered, this
will be done at the time of domain registration. In addition,
these individuals should have electronic mailboxes. Complete
information should be provided below for individuals not already
registered.
1) The name of the top level domain to join.
For example: EDU
(2) The NIC handle (a unique NIC WHOIS database identifier), if
known, of the administrative head of the organization.
Alternately, the person's name, title, mailing address, phone
number, organization, and network mailbox. This is the contact
point for administrative and policy questions about the domain. In
the case of a research project, this should be the principal
investigator.
For example:
Administrator
Organization The NetWorthy Corporation
Name Penelope Q. Sassafrass
Title President
Mail Address The NetWorthy Corporation
4676 Andrews Way, Suite 100
Santa Clara, CA 94302-1212
Phone Number (415) 123-4567
Net Mailbox Sassafrass@ECHO.TNC.COM
NIC Handle PQS (if any)
(3) The NIC handle of the technical and zone contact for the
domain. Alternately, the person's name, title, mailing address,
phone number, organization, and network mailbox. This is the
contact point for problems concerning the domain or zone, as well
as for updating information about the domain or zone.
For example:
Technical and Zone Contact
Organization The NetWorthy Corporation
Name Ansel A. Aardvark
Title Executive Director
Mail Address The NetWorthy Corporation
4676 Andrews Way, Suite 100
Santa Clara, CA. 94302-1212
Phone Number (415) 123-6789
Net Mailbox Aardvark@ECHO.TNC.COM
NIC Handle AAA2 (if any)
(4) The name of the domain (up to 12 characters). This is the name
that will be used in tables and lists associating the domain with
the domain server addresses. (Shorter names are easier for people
to cope with.)
For example: TNC
5) A description of the servers that provide the domain service for
translating name to address for hosts in this domain, and the date
they will be operational.
A good way to answer this question is to say "Our server is
supplied by person or company X and does whatever their standard
issue server does".
For example: Our server is a copy of the server operated by
the NIC, and will be installed and made operational on
1-November-84.
(6) Domains must provide at least two independent servers for the
domain. Establishing the servers in physically separate locations
is strongly recommended. A description of the server machine and
its backup, including
(a) Hardware and software (using keywords from the Assigned
Numbers RFC).
(b) Host domain name and network addresses (which host on which
network for each connected network).
For example:
- Hardware and software
VAX-11/750 and UNIX, or
IBM-PC and MS-DOS, or
DEC-1090 and TOPS-20
- Host domain names and network addresses
BAR.FOO.COM 10.9.0.193 on ARPANET
(10) Please describe your organization briefly.
Example: The NetWorthy Corporation is a consulting
organization of people working with UNIX and the C language in
an electronic networking environment. It sponsors two technical
conferences annually and distributes a bimonthly newsletter.
