We generally recommend VT Hosting for your website. They support standard html/php/mysql websites, with the ability to give granular (file or folder specific) permissions to any VT PID, and have a dedicated team in case of problems.

[edit] ECE Hosting

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.
