Get Your Own Website


All IS 215 class is about information system. We've been told a lot about website. Have you ever want to host one by yourself? And do you know you can create a website by using your emich account?
That's called people.emich.edu. This site hosts personal web pages for the EMU community. As a student, faculty, or staff member you can have your personal web site hosted on this server. We can also download an uploading software called Filezilla. Once you create your own website, you will get a new URL for it. It look like this "people.emich.edu/(your emich account)". For example, if your emich is abc.emich.edu, the website goes to people.emich.edu/abc. You should try it!
I've already got my own website. That's amazing. One thing I should learn is how to write html language.

  1. i had no idea that service was avaliable, i will have to check it out. Creating your own website could be fun to put information on there that you would think is needed, plus doing this you would get some experience in creating a website, and give you some much needed information on creating a website.

  2. I also did not know we had this option to create our own website through Eastern. I think it sounds really cool and could come useful in many ways. If students want to be able to connect with eacother outside of a class rather than just through email or what not, we can use the website and if it got popular enough, could really turn into something. Since I haven't looked at it, I'm not sure exactly what kind of interface it has or if you just set up everything on there but it sounds like it would be a good student networking site.

  3. Wow, I as well had no idea about this. It sounds very interesting, and useful. I will be checking it out for sure, because I can think of many things that it could be used for.

  4. This is really interesting. I never even knew Eastern offered a service like this for their students. HTML is a very easy language to learn. You can search for tutorials on Google and can be an expert within a week.
