Why would you want or need to take advantage of the UW DNS web name hosting service

  1. If you would like to market your department or group with a more publicly common Web name format, like www.uwstudentlife.com, you can register this name with an outside domain name registrar but then take advantage of the convenience and familiarity of housing and authoring your site on the UW central Web servers. 
     
  2. If you would like to market your department or group with the Web name uwstudentlife.uwyo.edu, because it is still within the UW domain name scheme (includes ".uwyo.edu"), you can skip the steps of having to register it with an outside domain name registrar or incur an additional domain name registration fee. All of the processing of the request and billing is done through UW to allow you to take advantage of the convenience and familiarity of housing and authoring your site on the UW central Web servers. 
     
  3. As always, if you choose a site name that follows the existing UW Web site naming convention, such aswww.uwyo.edu/uwstudentlife, it is free!
