Google has announced they will no longer support hosting websites from Google Drive. Support for this feature will stop on August 31, 2016. In light of this change we would like to point to you to other web hosting offerings in DoIT.
The Bronze tier provides 5GB quota and no scripting (i.e., static content); HTML-only for free. This should provide a similar service to what hosting on Google Drive was providing. WiscWeb CMS is a web content management service that enables you to easily deliver an engaging online experience for students, potential students, parents, faculty, staff, and interested visitors. WiscWeb CMS provides website authoring, collaboration and administration tools designed to allow users with little knowledge of web programming languages or markup languages to create and manage the site’s content with relative ease. Google Sites is a structured wiki- and Web page-creation tool offered by Google as part of the UW–Madison Google Apps enterprise service offering. Data stored within UW–Madison Google Sites is covered under the terms that UW signed with Google. UW–Madison Google Apps - Getting Started With Google Sites Blogger is a Google service that is also included with UW–Madison Google Apps. However, it is not covered under the terms that UW signed with Google. Support from DoIT might also be limited. However, if all you need is a basic blog style of website, and the data is all public information, Blogger may be a good choice. Departmental Solutions
