MSU Texas will provide msutexas.edu subdomains for official university sites, provided they meet the guidelines outlined below and are approved by the Website Committee.
The Website Committee oversees all domains within the msutexas.edu namespace in order to ensure consistency and provide central oversight. These domains are administered and maintained by Information Technology.
Domain Guidelines
- Public Information & Infomation Technology has directed that names are not assigned outside university organizational boundaries.
- Requests for third-level domains should clearly identify the requesting entity, avoiding the use of generic terms that could apply to multiple campus entities or services (i.e., a request for resources.msutexas.edu would be rejected, as it lacks specificity and could apply to multiple entities or services within the university environment).
- Acronyms are strongly discouraged and will almost always be rejected by the Website Committee. Exceptions may be granted on rare occasions when the requesting party can document an industry standard and/or common usage within their field or if the site’s primary audience is internal-facing.
Domain Name Request Process
- Submit your domain name request by completing our Domain Request Form.
- Please include a brief explanation for your request and whether or not this is replacing a current domain.
