Complete the IU Web Framework Request Form. Complete the IU Web Framework request form once you have completed the prerequisites. Completing the Framework request form does not secure you a virtual host or Sitehost account. This is done in the prerequisite steps. Let’s step through the form together.
IU Email Address. This is your personal IU email address. Do not enter your group account email address.
What is your name? Please provide your name as you will be designated the Site Manager when your site is created.
How are you hosting your site? You can use any IU approved web hosting solution to host your site. It is recommended that you use Sitehost. This course uses Sitehost for all examples.
What is your site name? Please provide the name of your site. For instance, if you are a student group creating your student group website, provide the name of your student group.
What is your test URL? Your Sitehost test URL is groupAccountName.sitehost-test.iu.edu where group account name is the name of the group account used to host this site.
What is your production URL? Your Sitehost default production URL is groupAccountName.sitehost.iu.edu where group account name is the name of the group account used to host this site.
The next four questions help the WCMS Administrators determine your site name within the WCMS. Site Names within the WCMS exist for the WCMS Administrators to locate and organize sites. Site names follow a naming convention of Campus-Organization-Department.siteName (for example, BL-COLLEGE-PSY.mylab).
Which campus does your site serve?
Which organization does the site belong to?
Which department owns this site?
Please note that if you are developing a site on behalf of an organization and department you should answer these questions on behalf of your client—not based on the organization and department you work for.
Does the department that owns this site have any other sites in the WCMS? If so, please give the name of at least one? The name of your site is the name provided by the WCMS Administrators and used to name your site in the WCMS. The name follows the format of Campus-Organiztion-Departemnt.siteName (for example, BL-COLLEGE-PSY.mylab).
