The College of Engineering provides and supports the LAMP platform (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) for webhosting. We do not support Python, Ruby, Java, or Javascript frameworks that spin up their server processes or require use of non-standard port. If you have a project that requires something beyond basic HTML, client-side Javascript, or PHP/MySQL you will need to contact your departmental computing administrator via coe.support@oregonstate.edu to inquire about using Amazon Web Services or a dedicated virtual machine. These latter two options will likely incur costs.

If we decide not to directly support an application, but our platform provides the necessary prerequisites without administrative involvement, the individual or group is free to install on their own provided they follow best practices outlined by the web agreement.
