Included features

A hosting account students can learn from.

Students get practical tools for publishing real websites, experimenting with apps, and learning the parts of web hosting that matter after graduation.

Build a portfolio

Publish a personal site, resume, design portfolio, capstone project, or club page on a real hosting account.

Try common web apps

Install WordPress and other cloud apps to learn CMS workflows, themes, plugins, and site administration.

Move or grow later

Bring over an existing class project or keep the site online after the first year by moving into regular hosting.

How it works

Simple signup, then a real hosting workspace.

The program is meant to help students learn by building on the same kind of hosting account used for everyday websites.

Verify student eligibility

Start with the student signup form and use a qualifying school email address. If your school address is not recognized automatically, contact InterServer so eligibility can be reviewed.

Use the added credits

After approval, InterServer adds hosting credits to the account for the first year. That gives students time to build, publish, and learn without needing to pay for the first year of standard hosting.

Build with normal hosting tools

Use the control panel, file access, email, SSL, backups, databases, and cloud apps to learn how websites are managed outside a classroom-only environment.

Plan for what comes next

Before the first-year credits run out, students can keep the site on a regular web hosting plan, move into VPS for more control, or export the project if it was only needed for a course.
