Domain Registration Information

Domain Name Services (DNS) are provided to Merit Members and Affiliates in conjunction with other services such as high-speed connections.

The contracted bandwidth fee for high-speed connections includes domain name service for up to three domains per organization, which includes both primary and secondary DNS services.

Merit's Domain Name Services include the following:
  1. Configuration of the Merit name servers as authorities for Member or Affiliate domains.
  2. Maintenance of the master dbfiles for Member or Affiliate domains on the Merit name servers.
Merit's Member and Affiliate Services support teams can provide assistance with the domain name registration process.

Individual organizations are responsible for the actual domain registration, however, as all registrars require payment at the time of registration and each registrar has a unique web interface. It is essential that each registration record is controlled by the organization owning the domain.

Merit Affiliates are responsible for domain name services provided to their constituents or clients.

Merit name servers are available for configuration as authorities for domains, with master dbfiles maintained if necessary.

Merit Network is the Domain Registrar for several Michigan third-level domains ending in ".mi.us". Information on how to register domain names in these domains can be found at See Also: Questions About Domain Registration?

Contact your Member and Affiliate Services support team with questions regarding Merit's Domain Name Services.

Need to Modify an Existing Domain?

Contact your Merit Member and Affiliate Services support team with any updates to organization, contact and/or name server information. Updates must be made to the Merit domain database if Merit name servers are providing name service for your domain. Individual organizations are responsible for updating domain registration records with their registrar.
