The service provides two primary hosting environments based on Linux and Windows operating systems. Database hosting is primarily offered through mySQL on our Linux environment and Microsoft SQL Server on Windows.

The University hosting service offers the following:

• A range of standard technologies and environments, whether you need basic website hosting or web and database hosting for common web applications.
• Frequent system backups and hardware monitoring to ensure robust performance and availability.
• Free hosting space for teaching sites, and cost effective (i.e. not for profit) hosting space for research sites.
