Webspace

Upon request, the Data Center provides web space for specific projects at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences. A MySQL database can also be integrated upon request. The Data Center provides the necessary infrastructure and activates it according to the project’s requirements.

Address and Domain Options

Two address options are available for the web space:

  • A free address under hs-augsburg.de, for example, hs-augsburg.de/example or example.hs-augsburg.de.
  • A custom, paid domain, which the Computer Center applies for through the DFN.

Costs for a custom domain (net, prices to be verified internally):

  • Initial setup: €36.00
  • Annual fee: €36.00

The Data Center will cancel a domain at the request of the authorized applicant.

Please direct inquiries to the Data Center Service.

The webspace service is primarily used by student project groups.

Please send inquiries via email to rzservice(at)hs-augsburg.de (to be reviewed internally).

Please include the following information in your request:

  • Project name
  • Supervising professor
  • Owner of the webspace
  • RZ accounts of the individuals who require editing access
  • Whether a database is required
  • Whether WordPress should be installed
  • Desired duration (usually a maximum of 3 years)

The corresponding URL is usually derived from the project name, for example, www.hs-augsburg.de/projektname.

Please note: The owner of the web space is responsible for maintaining the content and keeping it up to date on their own. Especially for WordPress installations, it is important to perform regular updates for security reasons.

Once your webspace has been set up, you will receive an email containing the webspace name and the corresponding URL.

You can access the webspace via SSH through the server login.rz.hs-augsburg.de. You can upload your content to the /local/hosting/webspacename directory.

When installing WordPress, please add the following proxy configuration to the wp-config.php file:

/* Configure proxy server */
define('WP_PROXY_HOST', 'www-cache.hs-augsburg.de');
define('WP_PROXY_PORT', '8080');
define('WP_PROXY_USERNAME', '');
define('WP_PROXY_PASSWORD', '');
define('WP_PROXY_BYPASS_HOSTS', 'localhost');

Note: The technical details listed (server and path information, proxy address) must be verified internally.
