+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/\~

+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).
