Web Hosting Service: The unit provides an integrated environment for hosting websites and applications on the internet, whether running on Linux or windows. It also provides a personal site for each teacher or employee to show off their profile or resumes, their researches and also to communicate with their students.

The University Internal Network

The computer network at the University is distributed on three sites in the city of Hebron (Wadi Al-Harya, Abu Rumman, and Ein Sara) connected to each other by optical fiber cables through PALTEL. A server room was established in each site to manage the local area network (LAN) at that location and to secure permanent connection to other sites via the Virtual Private Network (VPN) with Internet access at each location.
