Recommendations
The Web Oversight Committee discussed the pros and cons of sub-domain hosting on Wednesday, October 1, 2008. Providing a consistent navigation URL for users and consistent branding for the university were the keys factors the committee considered. The committee made the following recommendations on the subject of sub-domain hosting:
- Websites developed and maintained in the Content Management System be hosted inside the domain www.sjsu.edu
- Web Services be assigned the task of hosting sub-domains that already exist strictly for redirection purposes, so that inbound links can be gracefully directed
- Campus units (including departments, colleges and divisions) be encouraged to have websites inside www.sjsu.edu, and to follow the naming convention www.sjsu.edu/unitname
The Web Oversight Committee understands that hosting websites as sub-domains may be necessary in rare cases. The committee would strongly encourage campus units to explore having a web presence inside www.sjsu.edu before hosting a sub-domain.
