Introduction
Sub-Domains are a form of Virtual Domain Name which do not require an
external internet registrar or registration, unlike regular domain names.
Sub-Domain names take the form of a name preceding the main domain name,
separated by a dot. For example, plus.chebucto.ca is a sub-domain
of the domain chebucto.ca .
The Chebucto Community Net can offer sub-domains for all domains owned by
Chebucto. The following policy on usage and the Fee Schedule
was approved by the Chebucto Board of Directors on 12 March 2002.
chebucto.ns.ca,chebucto.ca
These domain names would remain for internal Chebucto use only. Chebucto
will not give out sub-domain names to outside clients or mail redirection
using these two Chebucto domain names. Standard URLs like
chebucto.ns.ca/username/ remain the same.
Technical Committee test domain names would take the form
NAME.test.chebucto.EXTENSION
chebucto.net
Available to individuals and families as Virtual Family Seats, taking the
form FAMILYNAME.chebucto.net (where FAMILYNAME can be any family
name, all lower case letters), which may be set to point to any
Chebucto webspace. Email aliases will be available, taking the form
address@FAMILYNAME.chebucto.net. For example, Jane Smith could have
the sub-domain name smith.chebucto.net pointing to her own website
and have the email alias jane@smith.chebucto.net which may be
set to redirect mail to any mail account Jane Smith chooses. The entire
Smith family could have such email redirects and use them as a permanent
mail address no matter what Internet Service Provider anywhere in the
world they had an email account with. These email redirects could be
changed to point to any new email address the user prefers as they change
their real email account from time to time. Chebucto reserves the right to refuse or discontinue any email redirection at its discretion.
Families wishing to set up a non-profit Clan website using the family
sub-domain name would be welcome to apply for a Non-Profit
Neighbourhood Account.
chebucto.org
Non-profit organizations and Chebucto's own charitable activities could
use sub-domains of the form NAME.chebucto.org, where NAME would be
replaced by the organization name or acronym in lower case letters and
would point to the organization's Chebucto webspace. Email
aliases of the form address@NAME.chebucto.org would be available to
the organization and could be set to redirect to any real mailbox. Only
actual non-profit organizations hosted on Chebucto could get names
representing them, so that for example only the real Red Cross (to
pick a name out of the air) could have the sub-domain
redcross.chebucto.org and its associated email aliases.
Groups meeting the criteria for the
Non-Profit Basic Neighbourhood Account
fee waiver could have their sub-domain name fee waived also if they
wished to have one.
chebucto.biz
Chebucto.biz sub-domains are available for For-Profit small business
use and would take the form BUSINESSNAME.chebucto.biz where
BUSINESSNAME would be replaced by a business name in lower case letters
and point to Chebucto For-Profit Neighbourhood account webspace. Email
aliases of the form address@BUSINESSNAME.chebucto.biz would be
available and could redirect mail to any real mail account anywhere.
chebucto.info
Reserved for Chebucto-based information resources, sub-domains would take
the form NAME.chebucto.info, where NAME would be replaced by the
information resource name or acronym in lower case letters. Email aliases
of the form address@NAME.chebucto.info would be available.
Outside Domain Name
and Email Redirection
Chebucto can provide domain name redirection for any valid registered
domain name not already pointing to a host webspace. The domain name would
direct web traffic to webspace hosted on a different Internet Service
Provider.
Chebucto can also provide email redirection for addresses at valid
registered domain names that do not already have email redirection
configured with another Internet Service Provider. These email redirects
could be configured to point to any real mailbox on any Internet Service
Provider. Chebucto reserves the right to refuse or discontinue any outside
domain name redirection or email aliasing at its discretion.
