Web Hosting

Note: Cyber Security restricts approval of cloud web hosts beyond those described here.

Google Sites

Visit sites.google.com to create or modify a free Google Site.  Google Sites is ideally suited to pages for individual groups, projects, meetings, and conferences. Google Sites can be made public, or restricted.

If you want a custom subdomain mapped to your Google site so that your site appears as mysite.lbl.gov (not as sites.google.com/lbl.gov/mysite), please follow the instructions at: https://commons.lbl.gov/x/p4HTCQ

Commons

Everyone can have a personal page on Commons.   Login at commons.lbl.gov and click your name in the upper right hand corner.  Choose “Personal Space” and then edit your personal page.   You can then request a short URL, e.g., go.lbl.gov/mysite to point to your page.

WordPress 

IT can assist with setting up larger, more complex WordPress websites with hosting and management provided by WP Engine. WordPress is a widely used free and open source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. Contact the Help Desk for questions, technical support, or to initiate a new project.

go.lbl.gov

You can use go.lbl.gov/mysite to point to any page and brand your URL.   Just open a Help Desk ticket with the request for your URL.  URLs must describe the content appropriately and institutionally relevant URLS may be reserved (for example, you may not register go.lbl.gov/conference for your individual conference – that would be reserved for an institutional function – but go.lbl.gov/actinite2018 is fine…)
