Availability: 

UW Shared Web Hosting services are available from any Internet connections.  Services are set up with a cluster server environment so that small system failures will not cause a service outage.  The service is not designed for quick recovery from a major disaster.  Occasional downtime is scheduled for periodic upgrade of servers.

Historically our service availability has been 99.9%. However, since the Web Publishing environment is shared, excessive use of the services by one or more users may degrade performance for others.

Price: 

The basic service is included in the Technology Recharge Fee for faculty and staff and is funded by the Student Technology Fee for students.

A basic disk storage allocation of 1 GB is included for faculty, staff, and shared accounts. Students are provided 300 MB of storage.

Additional data storage for faculty and staff and shared accounts is available for a fee. To increase your storage limit, go to the Manage Your NetID Resources page at https://uwnetid.washington.edu/manage/?disk, where you can enter a budget number and set the amount. The rate is $.35 per GB per month.  

UW Blogs Network is available at no additional cost.

URL Forwarding or URL Masking is $50 per URL per year.
