Why specialised hosting

Most OJS problems are hosting problems

Review invitations that never arrive. Statistics that stop updating. “500 errors” after a PHP update. Upload limits that block large manuscripts. A journal that was hacked because nobody applied a security release. These are the issues we see most often — and almost all of them come from generic hosting that was never configured for OJS.

Our managed OJS hosting fixes that at the root. We run OJS on servers with the right PHP version and extensions, keep the files directory private, schedule the tasks OJS depends on, authenticate outgoing email, and keep daily backups off the server. When PKP releases a security update, we apply it. When something looks wrong, we usually know before your editors do.

FAQ

OJS hosting FAQ

No, as long as the domain stays the same. If you are also changing the domain, we set up redirects so existing links and DOIs keep resolving to the right articles.

We can host it temporarily, but we strongly recommend upgrading to a supported release. We can plan the move and the upgrade together — see OJS upgrade & migration.

Plans include enough space for typical journals with years of PDF archives. Large multi-journal installations are sized individually.

A staging copy is included with University / Publisher hosting and available as an add-on for other plans.

Either. Many institutions prefer a single yearly invoice; monthly billing is available for independent publishers.
