Domain Name Registration
gsyork.co.uk expires 21/5/2013 and costs $19.90 for 2 years.
Web hosting
Michael Houston is currently hosting the site. Current webmasters need to check payments for domain registration.
Previously we were paying for web hosting from http://www.34sp.com
- £17.95/year
- 500MB storage
- 2GB/month transfer
- PHP, MySQL, all that good stuff
- Expires ?
The University web space (http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~socs46) now automatically redirects all visitors to the gsyork domain. Some old versions of the site still reside within http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~socs46/ but all the content has been put into the current website's archives by now.
Subdomains
- http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~socs46 redirects to http://www.gsyork.co.uk
- http://www.gsyork.co.uk points to the main hosting
- http://gsyork.co.uk, ditto
- http://wiki.gsyork.co.uk is set up as an alias for wikidot.com, which allows this wiki to use it.
- http://forum.gsyork.co.uk is pointing to the main hosting, and provides (surprise!) a forum.
- ku.oc.kroysg|ofni#ku.oc.kroysg|ofni redirects to gro.usuy|kroysg#gro.usuy|kroysg
- Anything else @gsyork.co.uk also forwards to gro.usuy|kroysg#gro.usuy|kroysg but it is preferable just to use info
- We should use gro.usuy|kroysg#gro.usuy|kroysg on official university stuff (freshers' fair, daily info) but it is useful to have a never changing ku.oc.kroysg|ofni#ku.oc.kroysg|ofni
Content Management System
The website used to run on modx. There was a security problem and the site got hacked in late 2012, so everything has been re-built in Wordpress. This is much easier for non-technical people to use (and more people have used it before), so hopefully the committee will be more proactive in updating stuff.
