Top Level Domain Request Form 1 of 2

Concepts

The namespace on this resolver is divided into numerous top-level domains, of which /NET/ is the default public area in which any registered user of this PURL resolver can create PURLs, partial redirects, and subdomains. If these terms are unfamiliar to you, please read about them in the PURL FAQ before you request a top level domain.

You may request the creation of a top level domain as a private namespace under your control, although any registered user can create a subdomain (also a privately controlled namespace) under the top level domain /NET/. Before requesting a top level domain, please read about top level domains, subdomains, and partial redirects in the PURL FAQ.

Instructions

First, specify the registered user ID that will own the new top level domain and the authorized Password of that ID.

ID         required
Password   required, case sensitive

Next, enter the name of the top level domain to be created in the Domain input box. Do not include the prefix http://purl.oclc.org/.

Note:

Due to the controlled nature of the top level domain, this request is processed manually. There will be a delay until PURLs under this domain will be resolved. The requester will be notified via email.
This is not the place to register a DNS domain name.
DNS domain name registration information is available from: www.internic.net.

Domain http://purl.oclc.org/ required
