Application for shared space on the University web server

Use this form to apply for webspace on behalf of a school, unit, research group, student society or any other group associated with the University.

Students and members of staff can apply for space to publish material on the University web server. The helpdesk will contact the Students' Association or the Athletic Union for approval before creating web space for a student society. External users cannot apply for webspace themselves, but the owner of shared webspace can authorise an external collaborator to put material into the shared space, provided the external collaborator has been issued with an external user's account.

A separate form is provided for applications for personal web space.

Web address

The web address (URL) of your web space will be:
http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~xxxx/
where xxxx is the name of your shared account.

If you require an "official" web address you should apply for it once your web pages are ready to "go live". An official web address is one which assigns your space a place within the structure of the University's web site, and which does not use the tilde (~) character.

Applications for an official address must be made on a separate form.

Purpose for which the shared webspace is needed. Please choose from the drop down list the most appropriate description of your group.
The usual space allocation on the web server is 10 Megabytes. If you will require more, or if you have any other special requirements, please indicate here.
