Domains are an important part of our online brand. When people navigate to a UU直播 URL, they believe they've reached an official UU直播 website that meets our standards and policies.
Tips for choosing a UU直播 URL
There are a number important questions to ask when choosing your new domain or URL including:
- Is the URL already in use?
- Is the choice of URL too general?
- Are there any negative implications to consider?
- Is the URL an appropriate reflection of your department's purview?
- Does the URL include an abbreviation or acronym?
- Does the URL include jargon?
For detailed guidance about considerations when choosing a new URL see, Domains and URLs for UU直播 websites.
Submit a request for a website with a standard and/or approved domain name or URL
For standard domain names and URLs (sites on UU直播-managed web platforms, such as WMS websites, and virtual host websites like juncker.lab.mcgill.ca), approval must be obtained from IT Services' Web Service Group. for a new site on one of these platforms will initiate the approval process.
Submit a request for approval of a non-standard domain name or URL
Approval for all non-standard domain names that include the word UU直播 (for example, mcgillathletics.ca*) must be obtained from Communications and External Relations (CER).
* We usually discourage using this type of domain name because anyone could register a domain like 鈥渕ymcgillsite.com鈥� and use it to claim to be a legitimate UU直播 entity. If we allow this practice, we make it hard for to users to distinguish legitimate sites from phishing schemes.
