What is the WebHosting Service?
WebHosting Services provides a way for campus units to establish and maintain fully functional web sites while minimizing technical support requirements at a very reasonable cost. Among the more popular features of this service are your own domain name, a stock set of cgi programs, and automated log analysis. WebHosting is a UNIX environment and as such does not support ANY Windows specific programs, extensions, or services.
