YSTV has had some form of presence on the World Wide Web from the mid-1990s - first hosted on the university's servers, and then on its own servers.

Society Websites

Sadly lost to digital history, the very earliest websites provided only basic information about YSTV, and were hosted on the University of York's Computing Services servers under the old socs15 and socs16 user accounts - for the general society and grapevine service websites respectively.

The Grapevine service had its own website largely to provide a means by which YSTV could advertise this service to conference organisers and local advertisers.

Alongside the growth of the Internet, successive Webmasters - or indeed anyone who fancied having a go - developed and improved the website (usually coding by hand!) to start building in additional features or more detailed information about YSTV and its activities. By 1999, certain programmes were starting to have their own sub-sites - including Cooking With and Election Night 2000.

ystv.york.ac.uk

By 2000Unverified or incomplete information, arrangements had been made for YSTV to have a sub-domain on the University's york.ac.uk domain - ystv.york.ac.uk - pointing to a server housed in the Technical Room at the back of the Studio. Eventually the website itself was transferred from the University's servers onto this server.

In mid-October 2009, YSTV launched a redesigned website. This used a framework called CSF, developed by Alan Briolat, and the development throughout 2008 and 2009 was primarily led by Nick Howell. Old versions of the site can be accessed using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.

Along with the 2009 release of the site, this History Wiki was reskinned, and another MediaWiki installation (docswiki) was created to document the station.
