Service Overview
All of the websites on our CALS WordPress multisite platform are hosted in the cloud on DoIT/WiscWeb infrastructure. The underlying infrastructure, including servers, databases, caching systems, etc. is managed with the help of the DoIT WiscWeb team. We take care of the security and hosting infrastructure so you don’t have to.
Do I Qualify?
CALS offers no-cost WordPress web hosting services to all faculty and staff affiliated with the college. This includes CALS Administration, departments, research groups, grant-funded projects, and other groups within the College.
Maintenance and Updates
The CALS Web Services team monitors and implements WordPress plugin and theme upgrades, security patches and bug fixes so you don’t have to. We also coordinate with the DoIT WiscWeb team to install and test WordPress Core updates as those are released.
Additional Web Services
The CALS WordPress Web Service solution is ideal for most websites, though there are sometimes instances where additional technical flexibility is needed. To serve these customers, we can consult with you to determine if the CALS Web Service is the right solution, or we can refer you to find the appropriate CALS IT or UW-Madison IT solution for your website or web application needs.
Requesting A Site
