Welcome to webhotelwp.ruc.dk




Thank you for your interest in RUC's webhotel services. Please read the FAQ below. If you have any questions or want to open a site, contact the webmaster.



Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get my personal homepage hosted by the webhotelwp server?
No you can't. Personal homepages are not hosted by Roskilde University but there are thousands of free or cheap hosting possibilities in the Internet.

Which content is eligible for being hosted by the webhotelwp server?
Basically any homepage with a content related to projects and/or activities hosted and/or sponsored by Roskilde University can be hosted by the webhotelwp server. If you are in doubt, contact us via the malto link above. Once again, personal materials belong to personal pages.

Does the webhotelwp server support PHP and MySQL?
Yes, but this one is specifically designed to use Wordpress CMS. If you have a site with static content, you are more than welcome to have a look at the other server.

How do I connect to the webhotelwp server?
Use the backend by appending wp-admin to your site-url, e.g.:
http
s://your-site.ruc.dk/wp-admin

But how do I update my Wordpress installation to the latest release in order to keep it secure?
That's a strange question coming from a user, but nothing you need to worry about. It's done by your IT department.

What's with those beautiful themes and useful plugins?
Contact us via the mailto link above in order to find a solution.

I don't know what happened but I lost some of my files?
Don't panic, we do perform a backup of your files every night. That said we still strongly recommend you to keep a safe copy of your material "just in case".

I can't remember my password?
Consult a good doctor. Just kidding... Contact us via the mailto link above to get a new one.

I can remember my password but I can't log on webhotelwp.ruc.dk

Can I share my account with another person working on the same web page?

I've read the FAQ twice but I would still like to know if...
