In the rebranding, it was decided that the new name should be Imperial
College London and that the short version should be Imperial. Use of
.ic.ac.uk has been proscribed and the ICT Department had fun trying to
change all the domain servers to .imperial.ac.uk.



That seems very stupid.

Do I need to change .ic.ac.uk references on my Web site to
.imperial.ac.uk ?


Well, most of the base URLs SHOULD still work, or at least redirect, but
I would check any deep links you have, as most of the web servers have
been replaced too, and many URLs are now awful Oracle CMS-based long
unmemorable things. No guarantee that just changing .ic. to .imperial.
will work at all.

On the other hand, plenty of servers have not changed at all yet...

Suck it n see, I'm afraid!
