Registering a domain name

Registering a domain name

If you intend to connect to a domain server outside of your local network, you must register with the appropriate organization to avoid name space collision. For information on registering a new domain name, contact the following:

 BITNET     INFO@BITNIC
 Internet   HOSTMASTER@RS.INTERNIC.NET
 MILnet     HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL
If the domain you are creating is a subdomain of an existing domain, instead contact the responsible person listed in the SOA record for the existing domain. For more information on obtaining SOA records, see ``Using nslookup''.
