About These Systems
The Web Development Systems are your central access point for web publishing on Shared UW Hosting. You can connect to them using a SFTP client such as FileZilla to transfer files to your website, and you can also connect via SSH to access a full-fledged GNU/Linux command line where you can run programs, set up MySQL, and quickly edit your files directly on the servers.
Using these tools, you can configure a MySQL database server, install a CMS such as WordPress or Drupal, run a Wiki, configure automated tasks, compile programs, and run scripts.
Servers
All web development servers access the same filesystems. Users should select one based on their affiliation.

If you have set your localhome, use the following host:

- Replace "your_netid" with the NetID of the account you're trying to connect to.
If you don't have a localhome set
If you have not yet set up localhome for your NetID, choose from one of the servers listed below that is currently accepting new MySQL installs.
