Sites @ Georgia Tech is a Georgia Tech service for WordPress websites. It is available for any Georgia Tech faculty, staff, and student. With Sites @ Georgia Tech you can quickly and easily create web sites for research, publications and projects, blogs, initiatives, conferences, and so much more.
Here are some example of websites you can create with us!
Some Georgia Tech units may offer locally managed web servers for hosting locally managed websites and web applications – check with your unit's information technology support staff to see what is available to your unit. A stand-alone web server can be useful for larger web applications that need more resources than a shared hosting account (such as an OIT Web Hosting account) can offer. In virtually all cases, however, you would not need a stand-alone web server for any standard content management system like Drupal or WordPress.

Several options are available for creating an internal website:
The Office of Information Technology (OIT) provides an on-campus web hosting service for official Georgia Tech units and projects. This service can host many popular PHP based content management systems, including Drupal and WordPress.
