[Koha] koha express

[Beth Heller]

Thanks all for the extraordinary welcome!

The reason we were going with Express rather than installing it ourselves is
that we don't have full access to our remote server, and we liked the
install, cloud hosting and upgrades packaging.

So - is there a Koha-install work-around for not having root access to the
server?

Alternatively, any recommendations if we just buy a server?  I don't know
anything about that but maybe we could find the money.  How big, what kind?

Thanks again!
