Domain Name System (DNS)

Overview

Domain Name System (DNS) converts names (e.g. www.sdsu.edu) to IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.10.0) that are used by networked devices to locate other networked devices across the Internet. It can be compared to a phone book, allowing the user to enter a user-friendly name, and returning the address for that name.

Are you eligible?

Current faculty and staff; system administrators in academic; and administrative departments can request DNS of university and network devices.

Cost

There is no cost to you or your department to submit a DNS request.

Get Started

All DNS requests must be submitted by the IT support for your college or department. All requests and changes must be submitted by a ticket request in ServiceNow.
