The Information Services Committee (ISC) is responsible for approving the University’s top-level domain names (TLDs) under cam.ac.uk.
It has devolved the management of this to UIS, which will provision an appropriately named domain where one of the following eligible categories applies:
- A recognised University Institution, Centre, or Institute
- Strategic research initiatives and strategic research networks
- A recognised University-wide service or initiative
- A request directly endorsed by a Pro-Vice-Chancellor (PVC) or the Registrary
For those ineligible for a TLD, a sub-domain of one of the following may be appropriate:
- apps.cam.ac.uk — web applications
- cloud.cam.ac.uk — cloud services
- event.cam.ac.uk — conferences and symposia
- fund.cam.ac.uk — funds and bursaries
- group.cam.ac.uk — a recognised University group
- masters.cam.ac.uk — inter-Institutional postgraduate degree-bearing courses
- societies.cam.ac.uk — an established University society
- TLD (an existing one)
- tripos.cam.ac.uk — inter-institutional undergraduate degree-bearing courses.
In all cases, advice can be sought from the UIS Relationship Managers and applications should be made using an online form. Further information and a link to the form is available in our Guidelines for requesting domain names within cam.ac.uk.
