Hosting Information

Web hosting is an online service that enables the publishing of websites or web applications on the internet. A web hosting service basically rents out space on a physical server where files and data are stored for the website to work properly.

UCD sites operated using the cms are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) housed in the eu region in ireland. AWS provides reliable, scalable, secure, and highly performing infrastructure for the most demanding web applications. Our hosted servers are monitored 24 hours-a-day, and being hosted in the eu is important for ucd due to regulations surrounding the transfer of sensitive data to servers located in other international jurisdictions.
