The Compsoc Network
All Compsoc members are entitled to apply for a network account. The network currently consists of two machines, as well as an assortment of other machines not currently in general use. The machines are still being configured, but are now accessible by members. If there's a service you want but it's not currently available, feel free to ask. All the society's machines are looked after by our team of System Administrators.
compsoc.net
Thanks to the Manchester University Computer Society, when the network
was first set up in 1995 we were able to use the ox.compsoc.org.uk domain.
However, various technical and aesthetic reasons persuaded us to register our
own domain, compsoc.net. We provide our own primary DNS, but secondary
nameserving is provided by a variety of sources — see our sponsors page
for details of companies who have helped us in this respect.
Just as we benefited from Manchester's generosity with the compsoc.org.uk
domain, we are willing to help out other societies who would like subdomains
within compsoc.net. If you're interested, please contact the
committee and we'll see if we can provide what you're looking for.
So far, the following organisations have subdomains within the compsoc.net
