Astoria, OR – According to the city officials, this change will encompass various city services, including email and the City GIS system, with the transition set to commence in June.
The decision to switch to astoria.gov stems from a commitment to bolster the security of Astoria’s online presence. By migrating to a “.gov” domain, provided by the federal government at no cost to local and state governments, Astoria aims to enhance the integrity and reliability of its digital platforms.
Despite this domain shift, all existing links pointing to webpages under the previous domain, astoria.or.us, will remain functional. Should individuals encounter older links directing them to astoria.or.us, they will be automatically redirected to the corresponding page on astoria.gov, ensuring seamless access to information.
Furthermore, to align with the domain name change, all online applications and forms hosted on the City’s website will be updated accordingly, streamlining user interaction and ensuring consistency across platforms.
In conjunction with the website transition, there will also be adjustments to employee email addresses to reflect the new domain. This comprehensive update underscores Astoria’s commitment to modernization and reinforces its dedication to maintaining secure and accessible digital channels for its residents and stakeholders.
