Hosted Solution

On the portal download pages, you may have seen a red panel entitled "Host on IBEUK"

What is Host on IBEUK?

  • If you don't have your own web site....
  • Or you don't have access to your web site to provide the portals to teachers/parents....
  • Then we can host the file for you.

This means instead of uploading it to your own server/web site so they can access the portals on your official web site, they would access the portal on our URL.

As explained in the previous topic (please check this topic if you've not done so first), instead of parents and teachers accessing the server via https://www.myschool.com/teachers they will instead go to https://portal.ibeuk.org/your-school-name (where "your-school-name" will be something you choose.

Although many school are using our hosted solution, it is recommended you host the file for professionalism and trust.

To host the portals with us:

  1. Go to Tools > Portals
  2. Under each of the portal types (Teacher, Parent and Student) you'll see a "Set up" link
  3. Click on "Host on IBEUK"
  4. Then set your preferred hosted URL. This could be an abbreviation of your school name or a short word indicating your school name.
  5. Then click the submit button and you're set.
