Charles Sturt University
How it works

A space of your own, in about a minute.

My Hosting is Charles Sturt's Domain-of-One's-Own service. It replaces the old plugin-and-billing setup with something simpler: sign in, claim an address, and build.

01 · Sign in with CSU

Single sign-on, no new account

You sign in with the same CSU account you already use everywhere else. There's nothing new to remember and nothing to pay — the service is free for current staff and students.

02 · Claim your address

Pick a name under csu.domains

Type the name you want — we check it's free as you type. Once it's yours, we set up 5 GB of website space, a free SSL certificate, and a holding page at your new address while you get started.

03 · Make it yours

Install something, or bring your own

Use Installatron (built into cPanel) to install WordPress or another app in a click, or upload your own files over SFTP/FTP. Your dashboard shows you what's live, how much space you're using, and whether your certificate is healthy.

Ongoing · Membership keeps it live

Your site stays up while you're a current member

We check your membership at login and once a day. If it lapses, we email you first and give you time to sort it out or take a copy of your data before anything changes — see the Acceptable Use Policy for the exact timings.
