Personal Web Space

* Students needing access to upload files will need to request a unix account, and can do so by calling 372-7334 or emailing tricities.tchelp@wsu.edu. Once we have created it, the password will be the same as your WSUTC computer account.

** If you need your site to have any server backend frameworks (wordpress, php, etc), we recommend that you try other hosted services instead. We only allow static content for user sites.
