ECE provides the ability to host your individual or research group webpages on our web server.

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/~<ece_account>

OR

https://computing.ece.vt.edu/~<ece_account>

where <ece_account> is your ECE account name.

• Note: this is the tilda character "~" followed by your account name with out "< >" characters.

If you require a unique domain name for your website, please submit a helpdesk request. Domain names can be <anything>@ece.vt.edu

There are a few rule which govern what you can put in your website:

1. You must comply with the VT Acceptable Use Policy
2. You may not run a business of any kind. This means, you can not sell things using VT's provided web service.
3. You may not put questionable / objectionable things up. No pornography.
4. You may not violate copyrights. No file sharing through VT's provided web service.
