Office of Technology Services (OTS) is retiring the Tiger and Pages servers that host individual TU websites on July 1 – be sure to take action before leaving campus for the summer!
How does this affect me?
If you have a website on tiger.towson.edu or pages.towson.edu, after June 30 your website will no longer be accessible by the public. This affects all student, faculty, staff and student organization sites. Act now to keep your site active – plus, this is your chance to get a fresh, new, professional-looking website!
If you are not sure if your website is affected, you can confirm by contacting the OTS Faculty/Staff Help Center or Student Computing Services.
What do I need to do?
You must move your website by June 30 in order to keep an active site. To do this, select a new Web publishing option, get your new site and move your content from the old one to the new one.
