Consistent, security-enhanced, cost-effective, enterprise web services are critical to the university’s mission. By providing a suite of central web hosting services to campus, the university will be able to better manage cost, compliance, and security of U-M websites.
Wolverine Web Services (WWS) will provide a variety of multi-tier website content management (CMS) and website hosting services to campus. Faculty, students, staff, university groups, student organizations, and departments will be able to choose from three tiers:
- A free tier for personal and group websites.
- A paid tier for managed WordPress or Drupal web hosting for websites up to and including mission-critical university business websites.
- A paid tier for hosting web applications, both off-the-shelf and custom-written.

- Winter/Spring 2024:
