Section 4.4 Naming Conventions for Web Servers

Section 4.4.6 Individual Web Servers Alias Naming Convention

An individual (ie. staff, student, or other person formally affiliated with, or recognised as being associated with, Murdoch University) may run an Individual Web Server on a computer provided by an organisation unit or resource area for that individual’s own use. Such Servers shall be registered as MurdochNet Servers.

The agreed naming convention for Individual Web Servers is:

the title of choice in the format of mychoice.murdoch.edu.au, eg. hal.murdoch.edu.au

As part of the Server registration process, an Individual Web Server shall be required to make use of an assigned alias. The option to use a computer hostname in lieu of a Web Server alias is not available.
