Greetings Webserve account owners and contacts, All sites still on Webserve, regardless of content, will be disabled on March 20, 2020. The use of PHP on Webserve was disabled on December 23, 2019. Progress   Ninety percent of website traffic is now going to IU Sitehosting. Thanks for your help with the Webserve retirement and transition to IU Sitehosting. Owners of sites who have not migrated are encouraged to immediately begin migrating to IU Sitehosting. Next steps If you still have accounts on Webserve, then please migrate them to IU Sitehosting before March 20, 2020. View the Webserve accounts that you own (authenticate with IU Login). You will also see a link to the IU Sitehosting account request form for each of your Webserve accounts that do not already have an IU Sitehosting account. If you are not the owner of any Webserve accounts that still need to be migrated, the report will be blank. For information on the Webserve retirement and transition to IU Sitehosting see About IU Sitehosting. If you have questions about migrating your site, please contact Support Center Tier 2 (Web Services Support) at sct2@iu.edu, or via phone: 812-856-SCT2 (7282) option 4, or 317-278-SCT2 (7282) option 4.
