Create FSU - FSU Libraries Web Hosting for Digital Projects

This initiative will provide web hosting for digital projects through an educational technology company called Reclaim Hosting. This service would be available to any FSU faculty members, graduate students, or undergraduate Honors students who wants a web domain to host content related to their research, meeting both research and pedagogical needs for which there is currently no solution on campus.

Updates
2023
As of February of 2023, CreateFSU has over 65 active accounts where content is being authored and published. During 2022 we created a Projects Exhibit page to highlight example projects and give prospective users an idea of what they could use CreateFSU to make: https://create.fsu.edu/projects-exhibit. We have surpassed the 50 total accounts we wished to create within the first year. We have also distributed a report to key partners on campus, including ITS, the digital humanities advisory board, and to our libraries colleagues.

2022
There are currently 17 total live user accounts, and about 15 more accounts will be created in the next month. Partnerships have been developed with several campus units, including the Honors in the Major program. The onboarding and workflow procedures that have been developed are being used to facilitate account creation.

2021
We are now in the implementation phase for CreateFSU. Reclaim Hosting's services have been acquired, and the website is now live at https://create.fsu.edu. We are in the process of seeking new users for the pilot program, and we already have a few accounts set up.
