Yea maybe if you explain why you would want a .edu address we can help more. They protect certain top level domains in order to avoid having random people using up or impersonating the intended user base. Domains like .gov, .edu, etc have specific purposes that they want to protect so that people can trust sites with those domains that they belong to a specific group. Hence the paperwork and why I doubt there is a quick way to get a .edu

I guess that if you are not a university, you cannot have a .edu domain name. Are you really the network admin of a recognized university ? Or do you want to create a fake website as if you were part of a university ?

Its not that I want create a fake site or anything. Im doing this as a favor to my friend, now, the principal of the high school department of a school. It actually is existing for for more than 60 years now with complete primary and secondary education but they still didn't have enough standards for a University. They have a website, I don't know who made it but its kinda old too and un-updated. http://www.pcc.edu.tripod.com/ . Too bad, I could make it a little bit better.

if you want to use something similar to, you could find a domain, I don't know if they are active, but for example using such domains like edu.com or edu.net, edu.uk, edu.co.nr are quite a normal alternative which doesn't require any paper work, edu.uni.cc and etc. of course if those domains are available, I just linked you to a suggestion

So, there is no real problem. You simply have to start the paperwork, prepare everything, print every paper having to be sent, and ask the prinicpal tof the hight school department to put his own signature on the paper and send the paper, and tell you as soon as he recieves the OK.
Of course, in order to convince him, you probably should start working on the new website and show him how smarter your job is.
You know, it's easy to say "I should be able to do something better", it's sometimes not so easy to have the job started and moreover finished. So, if you show him on a CD-ROM some webpages that are really nicer than the current one, he will be prettiy convinced and will be motivated for doing the paper job for obtaining the edu domain name.

   There are so many different places where you can register a domain name. I was just curious who

   everyone else on the forums to take into account. I personally use FortuneCity.com and they're
   rates are $8.95/year. I think they are an average domain registrar. They have good technical
   support and I haven't had any billing problems with them. I've been with them for the past

7. Amazing Results From Reverse Ip Domain Check Tool - (7)

   Here is a reverse IP domain check tool that takes the domain name or IP address of a web server and
   searches for other sites known to be hosted on that same web server. Data is gathered from search
   engine results, which is not guaranteed to be complete. Knowing the other web sites hosted on a web
   server is important from both an SEO and web filtering perspective, particularly for those on shared
   web hosting plans. I tried it with dserban.astahost.com, and I was impressed with the results.

    Domain names are by the Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN:
    http://www.icann.org/) and the names can be registered through ICANN approved registrars. Once you
    register a domain, your name, home address and telephone number can be accessed by anyone on the
    web, unless you protect it through a proxy, showing the proxyhost's information. Most people use
    this to protect their personal information, but those with bad intentions do so to spam. But my
