Review the Guidelines<\/h1>\n

Before you get started, we recommend that you review our information about\u00a0Choosing a Domain Name<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Sign-Up Process<\/h1>\n

Once you’ve reviewed the guidelines, you can proceed to the\u00a0sign-up page.<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click the “Create” button
    \n    \"Image<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. You will be redirected to log in for verification. You will use your Brown username and password to log in.
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n
  3. You are now ready to create a domain. To start, you must first sign up for a free subdomain (i.e., yoursite.digitalscholarship.brown.edu). Directions for purchasing a top-level domain (i.e. yourdomain.com) will be provided further down.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Option 1: Free Subdomain (Recommended)<\/h2>\n

    For no cost, you can create a subdomain of digitalscholarship.brown.edu. This is the recommended way to proceed.<\/p>\n

    To create a free subdomain of digitalscholarship.brown.edu, leave this default option selected and enter the subdomain name you have chosen for your web presence. When you\u2019ve found an available subdomain, click the\u00a0 Continue<\/strong> button. For example, if you choose \u201cyourdomain\u201d as your subdomain, your full domain would be yourdomain.digitalscholarship.brown.edu.<\/p>\n

    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Confirm that you like the name you selected. If you do, click the Sign Up<\/strong> button. (If not, click the Start Over<\/strong>\u00a0button, and repeat the above step.)<\/p>\n

    \"\"You should now see a screen confirming that your subdomain is ready. After a few seconds, you will see the regular cPanel options.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Option 2: Buy a Top-Level Domain from Reclaim Hosting<\/h2>\n

    It is easy to create your own top-level domain (a .com, .net or .org address). This allows you to select a URL for your website that is easy to remember and share.<\/p>\n

    While you are at Brown University, this is available for a nominal cost (currently $15\/year). You can continue to use this domain after leaving Brown, although the cost may increase.<\/p>\n

    To register a top-level domain, log into your newly created cPanel, navigate to the Domains section, and click Register Top-Level Domain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    This panel offers a step-by-step guide to registering and adding a new top-level domain to your cPanel account.<\/p>\n

    Option 3: Connect an Existing Domain to Your cPanel<\/h2>\n

    If you already have an existing domain that you’ve previously registered elsewhere, simply point your domain’s nameservers to ns1.reclaimhosting.com<\/strong> and ns2.reclaimhosting.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
