Regular hosting

On this page

Overview

All accounts include regular web hosting, which is suitable for static content, PHP (WordPress, Joomla, etc.), and CGI/FastCGI. For those wishing to host more advanced web apps with the SRCF (Django, Flask, Rails, Node.js, etc.) and leverage their full flexibility, see this page.

This page lists examples of applications and frameworks you can use to build a website. They can also be seen at https://sample.soc.srcf.net, and you can take a look at their configuration inside /public/societies/sample.

PHP applications

Scripts in public_html using .php extensions will be executed by PHP by default.

WordPress

Follow our full WordPress installation tutorial .

Static site generators

You can use a generator of your choice to manage your site. Just have it output into your account’s public_html directory.

Jekyll

To create the skeleton project:

jekyll new jekyll
cd jekyll

For a root site (i.e. top of public_html):

ln -s /public/societies/sample/public_html _site

..or for a site in a subdirectory, edit _config.yaml to set baseurl to e.g. /jekyll, then:

mkdir /public/societies/sample/public_html/jekyll
ln -s /public/societies/sample/public_html/jekyll _site

To (re)build the site:

jekyll build
