Making Your Own Website
Students, Faculty, and Staff can make their own pages on NewPaltz.edu!
There are three steps to creating a web page at SUNY New Paltz.
- Request a “Shell Account” on shell.newpaltz.edu, which is our server for personal web pages.
What does that mean?All you need to do is this:
- Login to your my.newpaltz.edu
- Click the “Student Services” or “Faculty/Staff Services” tab
- Click on Sign Up For Web Space, under the Computer Services Heading
- Click Request Shell Account
- Create your web page with your favorite web editor. If you are new to creating web pages, we suggest that you use NVU and do some reading about web design. You can find very useful beginner’s information at w3.org.

New Paltz Web Guidelines - If you did not publish your site directly (using nVu, for example), upload your HTML files to the webserver (shell.newpaltz.edu), using an FTP program such as WinSCP.
