It cannot render any server side languages such as PHP / Python It is possible to serve html pages in a github repository which will be public on the internet without the need for domains, servers or hosting. The git repository can remain private and the site public.
- The Service is currently dedicated for research and academic usage only.
- The pages will remain active as long as the user has an active CS account.

Choosing Subdomain
Suggest a subdomain - usually the name of the project or its initials. Validate that this subdomain is not already allocated to some other project. Following the creation of your GitHub Page contact the system with the request.
- The subdomain is subjected to review and approval of the system team under the consideration of ambiguous / future allocation of subdomains.
