Questions on domains, DNS (Domain Name System) and IP addresses can be sent to the hostmaster (via Orakel Support Services).

What the hostmaster does

• Provides general advice concerning DNS.
• Updates and administers domains and domain names that are associated with NTNU.
• Offers free DNS services for units and organizations with a formal or semi-formal relationship with NTNU.
• Processes applications for new domain names under ntnu.no and ntnu.edu as well as related domains under .no owned by NTNU.
• Keeps machine listings under ntnu.no updated.
• Assigns permanent IP addresses (in Norwegian) to servers and printers.
• Offers DHCP (in Norwegian) for for most networks at NTNU.

What doesn't the hostmaster help with?

• Internal web address forwarding at NTNU, for example, if www.ntnu.no/fisk/ needs to be redirected to www.online.no/fisk/ -- contact Orakel Support Services for help with this.
• Set up or configure individual name servicers (but we can offer the use of our name servers).
• Manage or create private domains, such as privatecompany.no or fakedomain.com - contact an external DNS provider.
• Set up printer queues (read the article about setting up a printer queue on printhost in Norwegian).
