[Koha] Hosting options for Koha installation

[Mahesh Angadi]

Dear Friends,

When we go for koha hosting on VPS, it is preferable to choose KVM based
hosting services. For eg. Digital Ocean as suggested by Fred King. KVM
based hosting allows you to create your own snapshots and backup. Further,
few hosting provider also allows you to mount your own custom iso. In that
case, you can host your preferable live dvds in the form of custom iso or
your previously configured systems snapshot over there. Usually, the file
size limit for custom iso is 2 GB.

Nowadays prices of VPS are getting cheaper due to huge competition and from
my personal experience I can tell that VPS hiring is highly cost effective
as well as convenient.


However, make sure that, you choose this option only when you are
conversant with the linux system administration part or at least you have a
technical expert with you to help over it.
