DNS Hosting
SILO provides domain name hosting services to Iowa's libraries at no cost.
- All domain names hosted must end in .lib.ia.us.
- SILO provides primary and secondary name service for all hosted domains.
- SILO staff can answer questions regarding commercial domain names ending in .com or .org, but cannot register or host them.
DNS Registration
- Domains ending in .lib.ia.us are registered through the Iowa Communications Network at no cost to the library.
- If you would like SILO to host a new domain, please contact your District LRT to start the process. SILO staff will complete the online forms at the ICN on your behalf.
- If you would like to host your own domain, but you need help registering the domain, please contact your District LRT. SILO staff can answer any questions you may have, and we can walk you through the registration process.
