Claiming a Callsign Subdomain

← Back to DNS

This guide explains how to request a callsign-based subdomain under ampr.org (for example, ki5qkx.ampr.org).

Requirements

• You must have a verified amateur radio callsign in the Portal.
• Callsign-based subdomains are automatically approved for verified callsigns.
• Non-callsign subdomains can be requested, but they require manual review.

Verify your callsign

1. Sign in to the Portal.
2. Go to Account → Call signs.
3. Click Verify next to your callsign.
4. If there is no Verify button, that callsign is already verified.

Request the subdomain

1. Go to DNS → My subdomains.
2. Click Request a subdomain.
3. Select ampr.org as the domain.
4. Enter your subdomain (usually your callsign, without .ampr.org). Example: ki5qkx.
5. Submit the request.

What happens next

• If the subdomain matches one of your verified callsigns, it is approved and assigned to you automatically.
• If it does not match a verified callsign, a ticket is created and a staff review is required.

Tip

If you are planning to add multiple DNS records, request a subdomain rather than claiming a single DNS record. Subdomains let you manage all records under your namespace.
