Hi:

we recently had our website for Physical Education and Intramurals done by an outside web developer/hoster who told them they could have .edu  so they chose mitpe.edu and mitintramurals.edu

We cannot register those names - as far as I know - and wlll end up with mitpe.com and mitintramurals.com.  The department director doesn't want to be a .com

Do any of you know a way to get them to be mitpe.edu and mitintramurals.edu - avoiding the redirect route?

thanks
carol
