Web Site Hosting and Registration Creation Request

What Is It?

UTRGV departments can request web hosting and domain registration for official content.

Guidelines

1. Preferred Namespace: Use the .utrgv.edu domain whenever possible.
2. Commercial Domains: Consider a commercial domain (e.g., .COM, .NET, .ORG) if:
   • It involves collaboration with external organizations.
   • It’s not a UTRGV department or unit.
   • It won’t harm UTRGV branding.
   • It’s tied to a grant or external funding.
   • It’s part of an outsourced solution.
