Domain Name Policy

The rationale for drawing up guidelines for the assignment and use of domain names within NUS include:

• To ensure a degree of consistency in usage, in keeping with promoting and protecting the University's image
• To maximize opportunities for both the external and the internal community to identify a NUS domain or website easily and correctly
• To provide a basis for resolving any disputes that may arise
• To facilitate the management of the domain space within the University website.

The basic principle underlying the domain names policy guidelines is that the naming conventions adopted should reflect a coherent system and to some extent, NUS' organizational structure.

For the purposes of the NUS website, there are three categories of web addresses (or URLs)

• Standard NUS Web Addresses
• Custom NUS Web Addresses
• Non-NUS Web Addresses
