How to apply for an homepage account inside Faculty for my course ?

The faculty is running a web server to support homepage for both courses and research projects. The faculty web server is maintained by the ETU. Currently, the storage spaces for each course account is 30MB.

In fact, you can have 2 alternatives if you want to create your own homepage:

(1) use Web CT service provided by ITSC, CUHK

(2) use faculty web server

If you think that security is an importance issues, that means you want to limit your homepage only open to student who registered to your course, then (1) is your best choice since the university will help to compile a student list and update to the WebCT environment so that only student registered to your course can access to your homepage. Currently, the Web CT environement does not have formal limit in storage space.

If you don't want to bound by the WebCT environment and do not mind the security issues (open to publich), then you can join your course homepage to the faculty web server. Since the server is running by the faculty, the restriction in storage space can be negoitated.
