Conditions of Delegation
Individuals, businesses, and government institutions can apply for this service. Registration entitles them to administrative control over the location and use of that domain.

Requested names must be representative of their legal names. For example, names such as "companyname.rockford.il.us" or "local-org.rockford.il.us" are acceptable. Names such as "cyberpunk.rockford.il.us" and "competitor.rockford.il.us" are NOT acceptable.

Sending excessive junk e-mail and advertisements (Spamming) from a registered domain will not be tolerated. We reserve the right to revoke any name without prior notification.

DNS services, mail exchange, mail relay, and multiple host per domain services are not provided with the domain and must be requested from your ISP. If your ISP does not provide them, we can help. Contact us for more information.

Registration Fees
