Personal web space
Everyone with an IT Services account can create their own web area.
Once you've registered, you can create web pages. These will be available at www-users.york.ac.uk/~yourusername with ‘yourusername’ being your IT Services username (for example abc123).
Key features
- Your personal web space is yours to create and edit as you choose. The content can be related to your work, studies, interests, society etc, as long as it adheres to Regulation 11: Using University Information.
- Create static web pages using HTML, CSS and Javascript.
- Any files stored in your personal web space count towards your filestore quota.
