The URL of a website is also known as the domain. All department websites will have a url on the krieger.jhu.edu domain (e.g. krieger.jhu.edu/laclxs or econ.jhu.edu). Web Services faculty or lab websites will have a url on the sites.krieger.jhu.edu domain (e.g. sites.krieger.jhu.edu/example). The web services team will suggest the final part of the URL based on your needs and best web practices.

Custom Domains

The university has established Use of Name guidelines for governing custom domain (i.e., NAME.jhu.edu) registrations to ensure that all URLs in the JHU.edu domain are assigned and used in alignment with institutional goals and that the university’s name, brand, and reputation are protected.

Information about a custom jhu.edu subdomain, and who is eligible to apply for one, can be found in the university’s central Office of Communications’ Use of Name policies.

Custom Non-JHU.edu Domains

As all official university websites must live within the JHU.edu domain, Krieger Web Services does not allow any outside/non-JHU.edu domain (e.g. example.org) on its web server.
