Copy Your McCombs Web Site

From McCombs Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

As a McCombs student, you were given a free Business School website. You will lose this when you graduate, so if you were using it, make sure you download it to your computer. Then you can find another place to republish it. (Please note that if your new web server does not support FrontPage extensions, some of your website may appear “broken.”) The technical support staff at your new site should be able to help you publish your website to its new location.

Your website URL is based on your email address. For example:
http://[class].mccombs.utexas.edu/first.last

Examples:
http://mba06.mccombs.utexas.edu/jane.doe
http://bba02.mccombs.utexas.edu/tom.sawyer
http://mpa06.mccombs.utexas.edu/ima.hogg
