Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What can I do with UNF Faculty Domains?
    What do you WANT to do with it? Seriously, with UNF Faculty Domains, we try not to limit you in any way. There are some practical limitations, such as disk space (we give you 2GB). You can create something relatively simple, like a blog or a personal website. You may want to build a professional portfolio site, create a podcast, or host a project site to collaborate with colleagues or your students. You can even create an online digital book! These are just a few examples.
  • Does UNF Faculty Domains cost anything?
    For UNF Faculty, the web space is free. You will receive a space with an address in the form of yourdomain.domains.unf.edu. So if your name is John Smith, you might choose johnsmith.domains.unf.edu. If you decide you want a personal domain, like johnsmith.com, we can help you register your desired domain name, which will cost around $15/year (give or take).

Accessibility

The University of North Florida is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. When creating a website, it is important to remember that the structure of the presented information determines how readable the site will be by a screen reader. Accessible web design ensures that the site is readable by this software and that audio portions of the site are accessible for deaf or hard-of-hearing users (e.g., captions, transcript). Everyone designing and/or modifying websites should understand the principles of accessible web design. The current standard for measuring accessibility is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1, Level AA.
