Reduce Hosting Workload for IT Teams with the Student Web Host Manager (SWHM)

University IT teams often spend unnecessary time managing web hosting access, account provisioning, password resets, server upkeep and support tickets. The Student Web Host Manager (SWHM) from Education Host eliminates the manual workload by fully automating hosting access for students and lecturers.

How SWHM Reduces IT Workload

SWHM integrates directly with Azure AD and automatically creates, configures and manages hosting environments for thousands of students with zero manual IT involvement. This frees your technical teams from repetitive admin tasks and significantly reduces support demand.

  • Automatic hosting account creation for students
  • Instant Azure AD login with no password resets
  • Teaching-block based management for academic structure
  • Bulk automatic clean-up and suspension at module end
  • No manual cPanel/hosting changes required
  • Reduced support tickets from students and lecturers
  • Consistent environment setup for all cohorts

Key SWHM Features That Benefit IT Teams

1. Azure AD Single Sign-On (SSO)

Students and lecturers sign in with their university Microsoft accounts, removing all password-related workload from IT support teams.

2. Fully Automated Provisioning

Students are automatically added to hosting, placed into the correct teaching block and given access without any manual IT intervention.

3. Automatic End-of-Module Clean-Up

When teaching blocks finish, SWHM automatically suspends or cleans up accounts based on university policy — eliminating manual hosting management.

4. Reduced Support Tickets

With consistent environments, automated setup and Azure SSO, SWHM cuts down common IT queries such as:

  • “I can’t log in”
  • “My hosting account wasn’t created”
  • “My project folder is missing”
  • “I don’t know where to upload files”

IT teams regain time and can focus on strategic priorities rather than student hosting admin.

5. Centralised Lecturer Controls

Lecturers, not IT, can reset student environments, manage blocks, view progress and handle academic tasks without needing technical access.

Why IT Teams Choose SWHM

  • Zero manual account setup
  • No hosting-level password resets
  • Reduced admin workload for cPanel/WHM/DirectAdmin
  • Automated lifecycle management
  • Scales to thousands of users without overhead
  • Clear security and access controls
