Overview:
shell.newpaltz.edu is the legacy host for personal website hosting. As of the end of the Spring 2026 semester, we have started a gradual decommissioning on the site and no new accounts are being created there. We would encourage you to look into Hawksites if you need web hosting.
Timeline for decommissioning
-
End of Spring 2026 semester: Stop creating new accounts
-
End of Spring 2027 semester: Prevent SFTP/SSH access to the server, but leave existing web sites accessible.
-
End of Spring 2028 semester - permanently take the server offline
