ITS offers web hosting solutions for university members who wish to create university-connected websites. This includes a www.northeastern.edu/____ site hosted on the NUWeb servers.
Access
Web hosting is available for all full-time faculty and staff, as well as student groups at the request of their faculty/staff advisor. Requests for new space and access, or additional features on existing sites, are made through the Webpage Requests section of the ServiceNow portal (sign-in may be required).
All NUWeb accounts have one administrative contact who must be a current Northeastern faculty or staff member.
Accounts will expire after one year – all accounts are up for renewal every September. Submit a NUWeb – Account renewal request through the ServiceNow portal (sign-in may be required).
Get Started
To request a new account – including space on the NUWeb server and a custom URL – you will need to submit a NUWeb – New account request through the ServiceNow portal (sign-in may be required).
This request will include an option to have a WordPress installation.
