Well, those are domain names, not URLs. A URL also includes at least
a service (telnet, http, ftp).
To set domain names, you need to frob your DNS configuration. I'm
guessing that you're not running your own DNS, so you'll have to find
who is. For example, for your mail domain, you would say
$ whois twu.edu

I'm not really sure what you mean by this question. Can you expand?
