IU Sitehosting
About IU Sitehosting
IU Sitehosting, the replacement for Webserve, is a web hosting service that allows the IU community to publish content for purposes related to the university's mission of education, research, and public service.
IU websites on Webserve that use PHP were disabled on December 23, 2019. Users visiting IU websites still on Webserve using PHP will be redirected to https://phperror.sitehost.iu.edu or will receive a 500 internal server error.
All sites still on Webserve, regardless of content, will be disabled on March 20, 2020.
Important dates
- April 16, 2020: All websites on Webserve will be disabled. Login access to Webserve accounts and WebserveT (webtest) accounts will be removed.
- April 15, 2021: Last date to request an archive copy of Webserve account files. WebserveT (webtest) account files will not be archived.
Key topics
- Web form processing. MachForm is the supported web form processing software for IU Sitehosting. See "About MachForm" for information on installing MachForm on the IU Sitehosting servers and migrating from Webserve to the IU Sitehosting servers.
- Privacy policy. Web sites moving from Webserve to IU Sitehosting will likely need an update to their privacy policy. In most cases all you will need to do is replace “Webserve” with “IU Sitehosting”. Also, a “IU Sitehosting” option will be added to the Website Privacy Notice Generator developed by the University IT Policy Office (UIPO). For further information see "Create a privacy notice for your IU website".
