Yes. If you have a valid reason for getting a subdomain of mit.edu,
please fill out the following form. You will need MIT certificates.
Note that hostnames can only contain letters (case-insensitive),
numbers, and hyphens, and you must select a valid, existing
directory on scripts.

  
New name: .mit.edu
(hostname).mit.edu points to: scripts.mit.edu/\~

Redirect standard (http://) requests to a secure connection
(https://)  
Require MIT certificates when accessing via https://

Your request will be sent to the scripts team, and you should
receive a reply within a day or two if your request is accepted.
(All reasonable requests will be accepted if the name is
available.) The URL will start working in a few more days, after
IS&T updates the DNS servers to have the new subdomain.

Please note that you cannot request a name that is already taken by
someone else: you can use SIPB’s
[machine lookup form](http://stuff.mit.edu/machine) to check if the
name is taken. If the name is owned by you, we will contact you to
make sure you want to move the name to scripts.mit.edu and find out
what new name you want to give the existing IP address.

If you are unable to use this form (e.g., you don’t have
certificates, or you want to point your own domain name at
scripts), please e-mail [scripts@mit.edu](mailto:scripts@mit.edu).
