Service Overview
Marketing domains, sometimes called vanity domains, are often used for marketing due to the ability to publish short, ‘catchy' web addresses in print and electronic mediums. For example, a website's address may be www.uco.edu/college/department/program/index.html and the marketing domain would be www.UCO'program'.com. Marketing domains are not part of the UCO.edu domain; they are often .com, .info, etc.

Students, Faculty, and Staff
Features

- Ensure UCO ownership of all marketing domains
- Ensure alignment with the university marketing strategy
- Streamline the domain registration process
- Collect necessary information from the requestor in one contact form

Please note: A sub domain such as "program.uco.edu" is considered a marketing tool as well, and sometimes referred to as a marketing or vanity url (but not domain).
Marketing or Vanity URLs may also be requested through this process.
There is no additional cost associated with the sub domain; however, requests will still be evaluated according to availability and alignment with the university marketing strategy.
