Individual web publishing space, tilde service and redirected tilde URL service now deprecated

For many years, all NetID accounts had individual web publishing space available at nd.edu/~netid.

As of this publication date - Service URLs of the format (https://www3.nd.edu/~netid/) or redirected from the following hosts are deprecated.  Deprecated services receive security support only, which is performed Monday-Friday 8am to 5pm. 

Service URLs located on (https://www3.nd.edu/~netid/) includes statically redirected URLs from these sites to www3 are deprecated: 

• https://nd.edu/~netid/
• https://www.nd.edu/~netid/
• Alias DNS records associated with www3.nd.edu included (if not sure if your host name is located on www3 - perform a nslookup or host or dig command on the hostname, e.g. 'nslookup registrar.nd.edu' )  

Content updates to www3 shared file space is also deprecated: 

• \\www3files.nd.edu (windows share)
• sftp updates to www3files.nd.edu

Tilde services located on www3.nd.edu host are static and will continue to function.   However, service software will be periodically upgraded to meet information security requirements. 

• It is the site owners responsibility to modify their code in response to any www3 software upgrades. 

Leaving www3 site:   You may still redirect a tilde site using an .htaccess file located within your www3files account space which requires that you maintain the original www3 account file share.  If possible, it is best to simply remove the tilde  account altogether and publish web content elsewhere.
