Domain of One’s Own offers flexible, at-scale cPanel web hosting for institutions, educators, and students around the world.
Domain of One’s Own (DoOO) provides at-scale cPanel web hosting that can be customized and administered for students, faculty, and staff. End users login quickly with their campus credentials and can be up and running with a domain of their choosing in a matter of seconds.
Domain of One’s Own includes access to over 100 open source applications like WordPress and Omeka, as well as key functions for managing a digital presence like DNS, Databases, and File/PHP Managers.
In a matter of seconds, users can be up and running with a branded institutional cPanel account. Check out the basic onboarding steps below:
Minimize the need for multiple passwords and login to a branded homepage portal with campus credentials.
Account creation can be completely self-service, or depending on preference, add in an account request form to start.
Account domains can be part of a larger project URL, an assigned subdomain, or even a newly registered top level domain.
With a powerful 1-click application installer, explore over 100+ open-source tools within a custom cPanel dashboard.
Interested in having a look for yourself before committing? We’ve got a demo Domain of One’s Own school running at stateu.org to give you a better sense of what’s possible. Create a free, 30-day test account as an end user to better understand the signup workflow, institutional branding options, and embedded cPanel layout. Keep in mind that this is a test environment only, so some custom features may be missing. Reach out to us for any questions!
Depending on your preference, you may choose to have all users sign up with a subdomain of a larger project URL, like student.stateu.edu. End users can also be assigned domains based on unique identifiers, like firstlast.stateu.domains. Alternatively, you may opt to have your institution fund registered top level domains for everyone, like userdomain.org.
No matter what signup option you prefer, users can always connect a previously registered top level domain to their account at a later point.
DoOO begins at $625/mo per 500 accounts – think of it as $1.25/user per month. As your project scales, our infrastructure increases in groups of 500 users. Ask us about discounted rates for larger projects.
If you opt give top-level domains to each user, there would be a $15/year cost for each domain name. Project subdomains are completely free.
