Hampshire College

Hampshire College permits the use of student owned and managed servers on the college’s network in support of academic work and in accordance with the college’s acceptable use policy.

In order to obtain a static IP address for a server, you must agree to the following conditions:

1. You must be a student with an active status at Hampshire College.
2. Content on the site must be related to academic work. Your advisor must approve the site for this purpose.
3. The site may not be used to operate a business, to charge or solicit money, or for any other commercial purpose of any kind.
4. Commercial domains (e.g., .com, .biz) are prohibited.
5. Content that violates copyright or trademark laws is prohibited. All software must be secured to prevent copying except that which explicitly allows copying, such as free software or public domain software. You as the owner of the server assume responsibility for compliance with these laws and the college’s acceptable use policy.
6. You assume responsibility for managing, upgrading, and backing up the server. This includes ensuring that appropriate security measures are implemented and maintained and software is updated to reduce the risk of any form of hacking.

The college reserves the right to remove the server from the network without prior notification if you or any user of the server violates the above conditions or if there is reasonable assumption that there has been intentional or inadvertent disruption to the network. In most cases, the college will attempt to notify you first and provide you with reasonable opportunity to correct the problem.

Please indicate the purpose for the server, desired ports, and the physical location of the server below. In order to promote adequate network security, the IT department may discuss with you and will evaluate the need for requested open ports.
