research.amnh.org is the production webserver for the Research department websites. It is actually a cluster of two redundant servers. A number of websites are virtually hosted on this cluster. For example, research.amnh.org, www.haydenplanetarium.org, and library.amnh.org all reside here.

Personal websites have URLs on this server, like http://research.amnh.org/~user/, where instead of "user" you substitute the user name. The personal site maintainer actually uploads files to the staging server, research-staging.amnh.org, and they instantly show up on the live server, research.amnh.org. Users should give people URLs to their sites using research.amnh.org, not research-staging. See the section on personal websites for more information.

Any new domain names that should be served on the Research departments' server should be registered as aliases to research.amnh.org.
