Debian mirrors / Submit Mirror Information

Submit Mirror Information

If you would like to submit information about a mirror of Debian, you can do so using the form below. Most information provided will be displayed in the mirror list.

There are examples at the bottom of the page in case you aren't sure how to proceed.

Please note that all submitted mirrors should follow the rules and guidelines laid out in our documentation.

Your site should appear on the list within a week, as soon as a human operator verifies it and includes it. We might email you in case of any problems with the submitted entry.

If you don't get any feedback within two weeks, you can contact us at mirrors@debian.org.

Here you can enter a private e-mail address that will be sent only to a select few mirror list editors, in case you'd like to give us a more direct address but are weary of publishing it. You can also give credit to the site sponsor and give other specific information about your site.

The following example would describe the mirror at ftp.us.debian.org:

If you maintain copies of old versions of Debian, your entry would look something like this:
