Stanford’s centrally provided web services are available free to University departments, officially recognized groups, and all members of the Stanford community who have a full-service SUNet ID. These services are part of the main campus computing infrastructure and are handled by a server called web.stanford.edu. For a broader overview of web related services, visit the University Web Services page.
