The college strongly encourages the use of the college server to host public Web sites for departments, centers, college business and publicity, and distribution of research results. The server is housed within College Information and Technology Services and is supported and monitored by that staff during normal working hours. Backups are run daily. Sites on the college server are listed in the college search engine. Usage statistics will be delivered to you quarterly.
Consultation regarding Web site development is available.
Limited resources are also available for producing survey, quiz, database and multimedia sites. Site administrators will need to access your pages through FrontPage, but may use another editor such as Dreamweaver to edit pages. All files on the central Web server are backed up daily. Web Hotel Service does not support FrontPage extensions. Also, since the U of M central Web server runs on the Netscape Commerce Server from Netscape Communications, Web Hotel members can perform secure network transactions.
