Description


For education institutions looking to provide web hosting as a service to their students, Omnymbus E.D.U.P.E. offers the most secure, flexible, simple and reliable student and faculty web hosting service on the Internet today.

Our compression and de-duplication technology saves your campus money by compressing and deduping like files, which means a space saving of up to 90% per student when using similar data. This means that under all circumstances, your campus pays for far less space than actually received, which can often be a 2-to-1 ratio – meaning that if the campus purchases 250GB of disk space, under certain conditions, this can yield an actual storage capacity of up to 500GB or more.

Expect the highest quality of customer support, server performance, and reliability. We provide your students and faculty with a very flexible and easy-to-use interface, professional documentation and a world-class server infrastructure to host their websites on.

Auto Quotas are implemented upon creation of each user account and the size of the Auto Quota is determined by your campus. By default, upon account creation, each user (student or faculty) is given 250MB quota for storage and campus private-public folders are given a 10GB quota. This ensures that no one student or faculty can use the entirety of the space allocated to your campus for their own purposes. Auto Quotas are also very flexible and can be re-provisioned for greater or less space allocation per user at any time with one call or e-mail to our offices.

We have a host of features that no other online hosting service provides such as free virus scanning of all web content, web caching using a dedicated proxy issued to each campus alongside their server, and three layers of firewalls for protecting your student and faculty websites from harmful scripts and viruses.

When it comes to account creation, nothing can be more simple or quick than using E.D.U.P.E.’s proprietary account management system. In under 10 seconds, you can create a secure, robust account for each student, which immediately gives them a publicly-facing sample web page, access to MySQL, SFTP access to their secure hosting account and secure access to their own private web management interface portal. Each campus is also issued its own server to ensure that your students get the best in performance and security. To meet the most stringent policies such as FERPA, we do not share servers between campuses. Our user account provisioning also includes bot and country blocking of many known hacker regions that can do harm to your student and faculty websites.

This is no ordinary hosting; E.D.U.P.E. is the best education hosting system there is.
