OK, I assume you mean the LDM is installed.

Yes, we feed universities and research organization, and government agencies.

 We are a private

That is most definitely preferred. :)

We ~could consider a non .edu domain, but the case would need to be stronger 
than
IP changes. 

For us (The Unidata Program Center) to feed a .com, we would need to see a 
tangible benefit to the 
Unidata Community. i.e. products added back to the IDD, or something of that 
nature.
