Web Addresses & Domain Names

Guidelines

Institutional primary domain names

The primary domain names for the 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 institutions are:

  • Unh.edu

Subdomains

Colleges and schools at 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 are permitted to use the subdomain configuration college.institution.edu as in聽paulcollege.unh.edu. This allows college sites and sub-sites to have a simple URL. For example: paulcollege.unh.edu/graduate or ceps.unh.edu/chemistry. 聽

Software and tools hosted by external vendors that have a contract with 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 ET&S Software Development, or approval from a dean, are also allowed the subdomain configuration toolname.institution.edu. For example: give.plymouth.edu.

Subsites

Other units with websites hosted at 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 should use a subdirectory structure consisting of the institution鈥檚 domain name followed by a slash and the name of the department or organization. For example: institution.edu/name-of-department-or-organization.

Web applications

Whenever possible, it is recommended an application be hosted under the main website in a sub-folder. An example structure would be: ceps.unh.edu/application-name. Please with hosting web applications.

Naming conventions

Subdomain and Subsite names should be concise and have meaning to the user. They also should:

  • Correlate with an organization's name.
  • Work for email addresses and social handles.
  • Employ dashes between words instead of spaces or underscores.
  • Be lowercase. Intermittent use of uppercase letters can be confusing for users and disrupt SEO.
