The Center for Information Technology provides Windows-based web hosting services to all organizations at the National Institutes of Health. We can provide you with a website at a cost that is extremely competitive in today's market. Please take a look at our rates.
We provide a Windows 2003/2008R2 server environment for hosting your website in CIT’s NIH Data Center.
The servers used by CIT are highly fault tolerant and scaled to the needs of the client. The hardware configuration is better than the best hosting websites in the marketplace. We provide a 1 GB storage area for the client site on a RAID 5 configuration, which has redundant power supplies, teamed interface cards, uninterrupted power supplies, and generator-supplied emergency power.
CIT provides a written Service Level Agreement for the administration of the Windows server, website, and if required the SQL Server database. You assist us when you create the website and maintain the content. To ensure that your code meets your requirements we provide a “Staging Web Server” to test your code on a pre-production environment (for shared IIS and SharePoint services).
