The following are domains that belong to us. As a a general rule, anything that ends with rc.uab.edu is ours. We plan to put all of our services in that domain.

• rc.uab.edu (Cheaha for now, will eventually become a portal to the others)
• cheaha.rc.uab.edu (Cheaha)
• cloud.rc.uab.edu (Cloud.rc)
• dashboard.cloud.rc.uab.edu (Cloud.rc)
