Domain Names
for South Central public libraries

If you host your web site on the SCLS web server, you may request a shorter or catchier URL, or domain name, for your site. Having a shorter or more recognizable URL can make publicizing services and information on your library's website easier.

If you are interested in getting a different domain name for your site, here's what you do:

1. Pick a new URL and find out if it is available:
Visit register.com or another registration service.  Search for your selection.

2. Once you find a new URL that is available, contact Rose Ziech.

SCLS will register this name for you and bill you the costs for the yearly registration.  Currently, we use register.com as our registration site.  Costs per domain name from register.com are approximately $30-35 per year.

Some work will need to be done by SCLS Automation to complete the connection between your website and your new domain name. This work will only be done on a quarterly basis in October, January, April, and July.  All requests collected by the last day of the month before (December 31st for January,  for example) will be completed in that month.

For more information about domain names, contact Rose Ziech.
