Obtaining a UHUNIX Account

The LIS Web Team tutorials assume that you will be using a UHUNIX account (University of Hawaii) to host your Web page. Information presented on this site, such as using FTP, Telnet, Pico, setting permissions, etc...are UHUNIX specific.

If you plan to host your site elsewhere, don't worry; HTML is the same wherever you go, only the specifics of interacting with your account vary. Contact your Web hosting service for specifications about IP addresses, passwords, and the like.

If you are a student, staff, or faculty member anywhere in the University of Hawaii system, you are entitled to a free UHUNIX account. A UHUNIX account includes one email account (username@hawaii.edu), 20 megabytes of server space, and a place to publish your personal Web page. To request a UHUNIX account, go to the following Web site:

What if I forgot my password?

If you already have a UHUNIX account but have forgotten your password and/or username, call the ITS Help Desk at the number listed below.

UHUNIX accounts are administered by the University's Information and Technology Service (ITS) office. Problems and questions about your UHUNIX account should be directed to:
