The department offers a simple website hosting service under <code>www.stat.cmu.edu</code>. To activate it, email&nbsp;<code>remarks@stat.cmu.edu</code> asking for this. A directory will be created&nbsp;with your Stat&nbsp;ID&nbsp;under&nbsp;<code>stat.cmu.edu</code> to which you can <code>ssh/sftp</code> via
<pre>ssh statID@www.stat.cmu.edu</pre>

You will land&nbsp;at&nbsp;<code>stat.cmu.edu/~statID/</code>, where&nbsp;you'll find a directory called&nbsp;<code>public_html</code>. Put the website content there and the website will be available immediately. Default files are usually called <code>index.html</code> or <code>index.php</code>.
