NCF provides website hosting services for individuals who are NCF members and also to organizations too.
Hosting services available to individual NCF members
Each member has available:
- web space for static (non-dynamic) web pages (see Publishing Web Pages)
- FTP access and Web File Manager (see Publishing Web Pages)
- web traffic stats (produced by the AWStats package)
- nightly back-up
- email (one account per member), including webmail, POP and IMAP access
No dynamic page generation faciliaties are avilable (eg., no PHP, JSP, MySQL, etc) to member accounts, but are available to 'organizational' accounts (which can be held by a person).
Apache .htaccess files
NCF's web server is an Apache HTTP server and .htaccess files are recognized with the following modules enabled:
- mod_auth (for Basic password protection, ie., password in the clear)
- mod_alias (for redirecting)
- mod_rewrite (for remapping)
For more information on these and how to use them, do an internet search.
The absolute path to your web space is:
/srv/files70/content/members/htdocs/[yourAccountID_or_emailAlias]
Hosting services available to organization accounts
NCF organizational accounts have available:
- all services available to members (web pages, etc)
- sub-domain hosting (eg., myOrgName.ncf.ca)
- full-domain hosting (eg., myOrgName.ca) (Note that NCF does not offer domain name registration, so it has to be done elsewhere)
- PHP5, MySQL5
- no scripting support, no shell access
Organizational email accounts are limited at the moment by old mail server technology. Not much is available beyond simple forwarding.
Package installation (such as WordPress) may be possible for organizational accounts by special arrangement.
NCF hopes to expand its hosting services as resources permit.
