I need [something] with berkeley.edu!¶

[under construction]

Scenario 1: I need static hosting at [myorg].studentorg.berkeley.edu¶

To put it simply, static hosting is a type of web hosting that does not require a "backend", in other words, a program to be run continuously. In essence, we are just hosting their "static" files.
Tell them to read the Instructions section at https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/docs/services/vhost/
They should submit the Virtual Hosting Request form, which will also be delivered to RT.
Solve the request: see Virtual Hosting Request page

To put it simply, app hosting is a type of web hosting that requires a "backend", in other words, a program to be run continuously. App hosting is a lot harder to configure for the student groups, and demand more resources from our side.
You should collect:
Group's account name
Group's current website, if any (even if not hosted by OCF)
Desired domain name for the app (group.studentorg.berkeley.edu)
The technologies/languages their site is built on
