Periodically, ITS will audit SiteNow websites for activity. Websites that have not been logged into for at least 6 months will be considered inactive.
When a website has been determined to be inactive, ITS will ask all active webmasters via their University of Iowa email addresses to do one of two things:
- Respond saying the site is no longer needed
- Have at least one active webmaster log in to the site, marking it as active.
After one week from the first communication, a follow-up email will be sent. If the site is still inactive one week after the follow-up email is sent, the website will be deactivated. Deactivating a site results in 404 responses for the domain and marks it as subject to future removal without further notice.
Once a website is removed, a copy of the site content cannot be restored.
