Platforms for Your Web Services
IT services (ZI) offers you platforms on which you can operate your web infrastructure. This service is available to the institutes, departments, projects, and student organizations of UZH.
“Magnolia” CMS
Organizational units at UZH use the Magnolia CMS system for their websites
Advantages:
- UZH's corporate design (CD) is adhered to
- Magnolia is easy to use (introductory course)
- There is detailed documentation
- The Central IT Department (ZI) provides consulting and technical support
- It is a centrally maintained system, i.e. you do not have to carry out any maintenance
- Long-term operation is guaranteed
FTP and PHP Server
You can create dynamic applications (e.g. databases) yourself on the UZH's ftp server. The Web Hosting Panel (WHP) is the platform for PHP applications. Here you can manage your applications. With respect to PHP, we cannot provide more than purely technical support.
access to the web area (is issued by your IT manager)
