Resources for Web Development Students @ Robin’s Blog

I am pleased to announce that free web hosting is now available to students who are currently enrolled in the ROP Technology Center’s Web Design Program. This hosting program will be available to you for the duration of your course. Hosting is only available to students who are currently enrolled in the Contra Costa ROP Web Design Program.

You can sign up for this free hosting program at http://www.robinshosting.com. Once you sign up for your account and it’s approved you will receive an email with important details about your account (FTP, webmail, CPanel, login info). Be sure to save the email instructions.

Your free account will be a subdomain of robinshosting.com. This means that the URL to your site will look like this: http://yourusername.robinshosting.com. I hope to have additional domain name choices in the future.

It is your responsibility to read all of the information presented on http://www.robinshosting.com including the terms of service and guides and resources.

If you need to update your customer contact information once your account is setup you can visit http://www.robinshosting.com/host/customer.php. You can also submit support tickets from the customer support area. I have setup a support forum for you to use to post questions and share tips with your fellow students.

I will be updating all of the class tutorials to reflect the new hosting information. Until then, the welcome email you received contains your FTP information so you can start uploading your files.
