Namecheap¶
This page documents the use of a shared Namecheap account for FOSS@MAGIC. This account is used to purchase and renew web domains associated with our community.
Access¶
Unlike other services, a single, shared account is used for FOSS@MAGIC.
A single password is shared among FOSS@MAGIC payroll staff and some Tech Team volunteers to manage the account.
The account is registered to the foss [at] rit [dot] edu address.
Currently, this grants login access to the following people:
Registered domains¶
This section documents what domains are registered to the account and any active Domain Managers associated to a domain. Domain Managers are other Namecheap accounts with some rights to manage and configure domains. This is one way to share access to a domain without sharing the password to the primary account.

Billing¶
FOSS@MAGIC covers the expenses for the domain renewals on as needed. Namecheap is set up with automatic renewal to the RIT MAGIC Center via an RIT-managed credit card.
