[Koha] Installation on so-called virtual server at external internet service provider IONOS

[Heinz-Jürgen Oertel]

Hello Chris,

thanks for the feedback. I know that I have to consider a lot of things if 
hosting the Koha server in-house. The only advantage would be cost.

You ave me a good feeling for choosing an ISP. I will have look at the ISP 
Franz has mentioned.  3.99€/month is a good price. IONOS asks for  10€/Monat 
(VPS M: 2 Core, 2G RAM, 80G SSD)
