Internet Domain Name Services

The Internet Domain Name Services offering provides school districts with the registration, renewal, and ongoing management of Internet domain names used for district websites, email systems, and other online services. NERIC manages the initial purchase, registration, administrative setup of district domain names, and ongoing annual maintenance, ensuring domains remain active, secure, and properly managed. This service helps districts avoid service disruptions caused by expired registrations, misconfigured ownership records, or lost administrative access. Ongoing support includes maintaining registrar accounts on behalf of the district, ensuring accurate ownership and contact information, coordinating domain renewals, and assisting with domain-related changes as district needs evolve. When necessary, NERIC will also coordinate with district staff or third-party providers regarding DNS-related updates required to support new or existing services. This service allows districts to retain continuous ownership and control of their Internet domains while reducing administrative overhead and risk.
