DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM) Services
Overview and Key Features:
Occasionally, university faculties, departments, or individuals may require a new top-level domain (TLD) under the university’s official domain name, utoronto.ca. This typically occurs when launching a new web service or renaming an existing one.
TLDs are typically reserved for academic or administrative units of the University (i.e. a school, department, centre, institute or administrative organizational unit of the university).
Getting Started:
Make a request for a domain name using the online form: https://ipam.utoronto.ca/portal/ (Please note that you must be on the UofT’s network or be connected to the UTORvpn service to access the form and you will be prompted to authenticate using your UTORID and password and multi factor authentication (MFA).
Select the button “Request a Subdomain”
From there, you will be asked several questions:
- The names of the administrative and technical contacts for the domain name.
- The Department/Faculty/Division making the request.
- Whether you will be running your own name server or wish ITS to do that for you.
- Whether there will be a web site associated with the name.
