Web Hosting for Gator Club® Websites
on UFF/UFAA Web Servers

The University of Florida Alumni Association (UFAA) now offers web-hosting services for official Gator Club® websites. Websites will have domain names within the gatorclub.com domain which is available ONLY to official Gator Clubs®.

What you get:

• 10MB of storage space
• troubleshooting support for the webservers
• web-based upload & file management utility for worldwide access to your files
• a domain name consisting of <<insert club name here>>.gatorclub.com
• server-side scripting support: ASP 3.0, PHP 4 (within 30 days), Perl CGI-Bin (within 30 days)
• many interactive enhancements in the future

What's the cost:

• Nothing! It's a free service to our Gator Clubs®.

The fine print:

• 10MB is what is initially offered, more may be offered in the future as usage can be analyzed
• University of Florida Foundation (UFF)/UFAA Computing Staff will ONLY troubleshoot problems with the web server itself. The Gator Club® webmasters will be responsible for troubleshoot problems with specific pages or with the display of specific elements. A basic knowledge of HTML is expected
• Each Gator Club will have a User ID and Password for uploading their pages. It is the responsibility of the Gator Club® to protect the integrity of that password. The UFF/UFAA staff cannot be responsible for your pages if the password is not protected.
• Due to the wide variety of name hosts and the overhead of managing multiple domains, the UFF/UFAA staff cannot manage your current domain name. We would like to recommend that you sign up for a web account on gatorclub.com and begin to use that domain.
• Advertising and sponsorship. Club sponsors may be recognized online as long as they follow the guideline set in the Gator Club Handbook. Advertising must be approved by the UFAA due to possible UBIT issues.
• While the Foundation Computing Staff does not intend to act in an editorial capacity, if something is posted to a Gator Club® site that is deemed inappropriate they have the full authority to contact the Gator Club® immediately or, if necessary, to temporarily shut that site down until the situation can be remedied. Inappropriate items as of this time include: anything in poor taste which does not properly reflect the University of Florida or University of Florida Alumni Association or (more realistically) any interactive feature which either by accident or design causes a significant overload on the provided computing resources. An example of this would a poorly written script that utilizes an excessive amount of processor time causing the other sites on the server to become unresponsive.
