On-Premise Web Hosting

About the Service

On-Premise Web Hosting allows faculty, staff and students, departments or research labs to host personal, department, or research lab websites.

Features:

  • ITS provides web hosting only—the website owner is responsible for development, management, and design of the hosted website.  

  • Faculty are strongly encouraged to use Bright Space for course-related website 

  • Faculty and researchers are strongly  encouraged to consult with Web Services, Office of Communications and Marketing (OCM) about their services

    • Owners of web sites hosted in On-Premise web hosting should not expect website development, management, or design from OCM 

  • Applications, including  CMS applications (such as WordPress, etc.), should not be hosted in these directories

    • If it is necessary to host application,  Research Storage spaces may be more appropriate

  • Access to directories can be requested for specific staff or students, submit an ITS Service Desk ticket.

Use-cases:

  • Need to create a website for personal, department, research lab purposes

  • Public-facing website for a project, committee, or working group.  (For sites that do not need to be publicly-accessible, a SharePoint site may be more appropriate and easier to manage and update.)
