Domain Naming Services




Service Description

The DIS Domain Naming Service (DNS) is available to all agencies connected to the State Government Network (SGN) or the IntraGovernmental Network (IGN).

Washington State administers the .wa.gov and state.wa.us domains.

The .wa.gov sub-domain is now available to cities and counties – it had previously been available only to state agencies, boards, and commissions. Local governments currently use a variety of domain names, such as city.org or county-state.com. Cities and counties now have the option of using a domain name consistent with state government domain name conventions.
