  1. Can I have a web page on this server?

    If you have an ICS UNIX account, you can create your own web page. See Creating Your Own Web Space for more information.

  2. Will you help me set up a cool web page?

    No. If this is for a class, contact your instructor or TA. Otherwise, there are lots of good HTML resources available. Try checking through Yahoo for information on WWW programming. Additional information is also available at the General WWW FAQ.

  3. Will you make a link to my page?

    If you are a graduate student or visiting researcher or faculty, please send email to webmaster@ics.uci.edu. We do not link home pages to servers outside the campus. Please do not waste your time or our time by making such a request.

  4. How do I add a counter to my home page?

    We do not support the usage of counters. They are very wasteful of bandwidth and system resources. We appreciate your consideration on this.

  5. How do I run cgi-bin programs?

    We do not permit users to have or use cgi-bin scripts other than those already on the server: calendar, date, finger, fortune, imagemap and uptime.

  6. How does this affect my quota?

    Since your personal web space is contained in your home directory, it is included in your quota. For more information on quotas, see ICS Instructional Quotas.
