Options for personal and lab websites
Here are the available options for personal and lab websites
If you want a particular <name>.umd.edu (or <name>.eng.umd.edu, <name>.physics.umd.edu, <name>.math.umd.edu) website name to point to one of the options below, please contact eit-help@umd.edu.
WordPress
This option does not get removed/deleted when the owner of the site leaves UMD. Hosted by CampusPress and managed by DivIT.
Google Sites
A Google site goes away when the owner of the site leaves UMD so this is fine for personal sites but isn't a good choice for shared websites.
TerpConnect
This is a very basic option with manual updating of files over SFTP. Depending upon where this is stored in TerpConnect, it may go away when the owner leaves UMD.
