Rationalising UCL’s web estate – taking ownership of unclaimed sites and web apps

In May this year we informed staff of our intentions to rationalise UCLs web estate 

Many site owners came forward and have agreed a plan for the future hosting arrangements for their sites. 

However, we still have a large number of unclaimed sites/web apps for which we have been unable to find an owner. 

A list of the unclaimed sites/apps is available (requires UCL login). Please do check the list and if you own or wish to maintain a site, get in contact with the team as soon as possible to discuss future hosting options. 

 As we said in the original communication we will now start the process of blocking the unassigned sites from 31 July 2024. 

There are financial and environmental impacts, and reputational and security risks with keeping these unmanaged sites running so it is in all of our interests to bring all of the UCL web estate under active management.   

Thank you for helping to keep our digital estate up to date, secure and well managed.
