The Public Linux Environment is a robust, full-stack LAMP service running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It includes public websites hosted on Volweb (http://volweb.utk.edu/~) which feature a 1 GB quota, various programming languages, Apache, and access to our MySQL database service. After creating a Public Linux account, UT students, staff, and faculty can build websites, compile programs, edit files, and more.

OIT-SUPPORTED WORDPRESS
OIT offers a managed WordPress service that is designed to allow departments, faculty, and staff to manage the content of their WordPress web pages while OIT manages the WordPress installation. Custom/vanity URLs (virtual hosts) are included with an OIT-Supported WordPress site. New sites are based on the approved UTK or UT System template and will include a custom/vanity URL (virtual host). Access to wp-admin will require authentication with your NetID and password.
MYSQL
MySQL is a popular open-source SQL database management system. It is often used as a free back-end database for many web and open source applications. If you’re planning to set up WordPress on your Linux server, you will also need to sign up for a MySQL database.
CUSTOM/VANITY URL WEBSITES (VIRTUAL HOST)
OIT offers custom/vanity URLs (virtual hosts) for UTK organizations and departments. Examples include registrar.utk.edu, payroll.tennessee.edu, and italian.utk.edu.
