Section 4.4 Naming Conventions for Web Servers

Section 4.4.3 Organisation Units or Resource Areas Web Server Alias Naming Convention

The agreed naming convention for organisation units or resource areas is:

the standard prefix www in conjunction with an approved sub-domain in the format of www.name.murdoch.edu.au, eg. www.its.murdoch.edu.au

The preferred format for aliases assigned to organisation units or resource areas shall be

www.name.murdoch.edu.au

NOTE: Application of the above naming convention is based on the premise that the University’s DNS environment shall facilitate the allocation of sub-domains.
