NYU Network Policy does not permit the registration of external hostnames against NYU assets (in this case, the homepages.nyu.edu server). This is documented in:
If you want to register a domain name, we suggest that you do so with an outside service provider and redirect your new site's index.html page to your existing site on the homepages.nyu.edu web server.
Commercial Use of Your NYUHome Web Page
You may not run a business or advertise on your web page. Your NYUHome account is for educational and research purposes only, as indicated by the .edu in the address. Your account may be suspended and disciplinary action will be taken if you use your personal home page for commercial purposes.
If you need a web page for your business, you should get an account with a commercial Internet service provider (ISP). There are many in the New York area with rates as low as $20 per month. In most cases, the rate includes file space for the subscriber's web page; more space can be rented if needed. This will give your business an appropriate commercial address in the .com domain.
