Info
titleGood to know: Administrators

Every webinstance is assigned to one or several administrators.

This contact is used for:

  • these - and only these - registered contacts can order the deletion of the website.billing
  • invoicing
  • legal responsibility for the content of the website
  • contact person in case of technical issues/maintenanceaccess your Webinstance backend by SMB to edit files, edit SSH keys and configuration files on the server instance itself


Info
titleIMPORTANT

(warning) (warning) (warning)

make sure to have at least one registered valid "Web instance administrator" - your website will automatically suspended and deleted if there is no registered admin.
How to register an admin?

  • log in by ssh/smb
  • edit the file ~/conf/servers
  • find the line ADMINS="ethuser1 ethuser2 ethuser3" - add the ETHZ usernames (not email addresses)  who should be a "webinstance administrator"

It is recommended to have multiple admins - so in case of vacation there is a person we can contact. Also be aware that if you leave ETHZ, your NETHZ account will be suspended/deleted. This can cause webinstances to have no valid administrative contact - suspension and deletion of the website will occur!
