Third Party Options

Note: You are strongly encouraged to choose the University’s supported options, in which the University is responsible for your website support, hosting, and platform security. If you choose to build your website outside the University, you are 100% responsible for the website’s maintenance, support, compliance, and security.

See Websites Hosted by a Third Party (login required) for more information.

 

Help Choosing an Option

The University offers several options for creating websites. When deciding on the best option for your needs, consider the following:

• Can you commit to continually maintaining and securing the code?
• Are you able to make a website that meets the University's accessibility policies? 

If code maintenance and accessibility are not your strength, OIT offers no to low-effort solutions for these requirements. Please contact webservices@princeton.edu if you would like to discuss the options.  

 

NOTE: For website domain names, refer to the Domain Name Policy.
