Personal Web Sites for Students

Welcome to students.ship.edu! Students.ship.edu is the new web server where Shippensburg University Students may create personal websites.  The web server platform is Microsoft Internet Information Server.  Students who are creating personal websites now have the ability to save their website files directly to a folder on on-campus lab workstations.  In addition, students may use a simple drag-and-drop FTP interface through Internet Explorer to save their website files from workstations located off-campus or in Residence Halls.
