Central Web Server (www.cityu.edu.hk)

Central web hosting service is set up to provide a consolidated, fully monitored and managed environment for hosting departmental web sites or project web sites on Solaris platform. The hardware and the software of the central web service are maintained and supported by the CSC while the web page contents and applications are developed and maintained by the departments. Compatibility and technical advices will be provided to assist the development of a new website or migration of existing web sites. In order to provide a stable environment for the web services already hosted, NO development activities will be allowed in these web servers. Users are expected to do all developments and testing on their own machines before uploading to the central web hosting servers.
