Complete information should be provided below for individuals not already registered. 1) The name of the top level domain to join. For example: EDU (2) The NIC handle (a unique NIC WHOIS database identifier), if known, of the administrative head of the organization. Alternately, the person's name, title, mailing address, phone number, organization, and network mailbox. This is the contact point for administrative and policy questions about the domain.

A good way to answer this question is to say "Our server is supplied by person or company X and does whatever their standard issue server does". For example: Our server is a copy of the server operated by the NIC, and will be installed and made operational on 1-November-84. (6) Domains must provide at least two independent servers for the domain. Establishing the servers in physically separate locations is strongly recommended. A description of the server machine and its backup, including (a) Hardware and software (using keywords from the Assigned Numbers RFC). (b) Host domain name and network addresses (which host on which network for each connected network). For example: - Hardware and software VAX-11/750 and UNIX, or IBM-PC and MS-DOS, or DEC-1090 and TOPS-20 - Host domain names and network addresses BAR.FOO.COM 10.9.0.193 on ARPANET (10) Please describe your organization briefly.
