The core of the web-hosting system is the Scoilnet LDAP directory.
- You should replace school1 with your school's Online Name.
| School's Online Name | school1 |
| Username | jmurphy1234 |
| upload URL | https://upload.scoilnet.ie/school1 |
| website URL | http://school1.scoilnet.ie |

Instructions for uploading your website are available below:
Backups
Backups of content are made automatically each night.
Directory Structure
Upon logging into the webhosting service, the user is presented with a folder, the name of which is the website domain (i.e. school1.scoilnet.ie ). The contents of this directory is the contents of the school1.scoilnet.ie website. This is where you should copy your website files.
Migration of Existing Web Page
A tool to facilitate the migration of existing web sites hosted by Eircom will be made available through the control panel
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run CGI scripts?
No
Can I use an FTP client?
No
Can I use this service to host other websites?
Yes, but only if they are directly related to the school. A request should be made to the NCTE Service Desk. The new website can either be an alias to the existing school1.scoilnet.ie website, or can have a seperate directory pointing to it.
How much storage is available?
At the moment, there are no quotas in place, and no plans to implement a quota system. However, file uploads are monitored, and abuse will be dealt with.
How do I upload my website?
Instructions are available here
=== Should I save files directly to my WebDAV share? Saving files directly to a WebDAV share (i.e. from within an application, such as Word, Excel or Internet Explorer does not work reliably. For best results, save the file to your computer first and then upload it to your site.
