- You must comply with the VT Acceptable Use Policy
- You may not run a business of any kind. This means you can not sell anything using VT web services.
- You may not put questionable / objectionable things up (e.g., pornography)
- You may not violate copyrights. No file sharing through VT web services.

We also provide the ability to host your individual or research group webpages on our web server, and we also support html/php/mysql websites.
If you have an ECE account, you will find a directory called "public_html" in your home directory. Any html or php pages you put in this directory will be available publicly on the internet as:
https://filebox.ece.vt.edu/~<eceAccount>
OR
https://computing.ece.vt.edu/~<eceAccount>
where <eceAccount> is your ECE account name.
- Note: this is the tilda character "~" followed by your account name without the "< >" characters.
If you require a unique domain name for your website instead, please submit a ticket. Domain names can be anything.ece.vt.edu. We will point the domain name to your ECE account public_html folder.
