Overview
ISC Web Services provides a suite of web hosting service offerings for University clients. Our primary service is hosting for Drupal and WordPress sites in partnership with Pantheon. Pantheon’s market-leading, container-based infrastructure provides greater security and stability than traditional shared hosting solutions. The Pantheon deployment tools greatly ease the process of deploying and maintaining websites. The University-negotiated contract with Pantheon provides additional services and protections beyond those provided by self-service hosting plans at a reduced cost.
Please note: ISC will retire Web Services’ TS Web Hosting offering (aka Webhosting - Internal VMs) by the end of this fiscal year (June 30, 2022). If you have a site currently hosted by the TS Web Hosting offering, please contact ISC Client Care as soon as possible to start working with our Web Services team to transition your site to a new solution.
Benefits
The Pantheon hosting platform provides:
- The Pantheon dashboard, which features market-leading deployment tools for Drupal and Wordpress
- Separate Dev, Test, and Live environments for each site
- A multi-dev mode that supports team development through the ability to provide additional development environments for a site
- Git-managed Drupal and WordPress core code upstreams in order to ease deployment of core software updates
