The challenge
The computing department needed to host up to 1,200 student accounts across three-year courses. Previous attempts using free hosting led to a lack of support, limited functionality and unwanted commercial advertising.
The solution
- Individual public webspace with a domain name for each student
- cPanel access and automated account management
- 24-hour support availability with managed server infrastructure
- Automated account removal after a student leaves
- Backup and restore testing added in year two
The outcomes
- Hosting delivered for up to 1,200 student accounts
- Support response times measured in hours or minutes
- High student satisfaction with reliable, professional tooling
“Our experience with Education Host has been extremely positive. The level of service is outstanding, with some problems being resolved in hours or even minutes. Students are very satisfied.”
