Hosting for New OJS Journals
Our Basic Hosting Plan is designed for clients who are launching a new journal on a budget. Please note that this plan does not support the migration of existing journal content.
With the Basic Hosting Plan, you will enjoy the following benefits:
- Full Access to OJS Features: Utilize all the core functionalities of Open Journal Systems.
- Daily Backups: Regular backups to safeguard your data.
- Scheduled Upgrades: Free updates to long-term support versions to keep your system current.
- Priority Bug Fixes: Prompt resolution of any technical issues.
- Unlimited Storage: Store as much content as you need.
- Unlimited Articles and Issues: Publish without restrictions on the number of articles or issues.
Technical Support: Assistance is available for any support needs.
The Basic Hosting Plan Includes:
- Shared Installation: Your journal will be hosted on a shared OJS setup, providing a cost-effective solution.
- Default Plugins: A set of essential plugins included.
- SSL Certificate: Secure your website with an SSL certificate.

While journals on this plan operate independently regarding site design and user management, customization options such as additional plugins, themes, or direct database access are not included.
For additional services such as training, advanced DOI support, or a standalone OJS installation, consider our Enterprise and Professional plans. These plans are also recommended for migrating existing content or managing multiple journals.
OJS Hosting for Educational Institutions
Our Institutional Hosting Plan is tailored specifically for higher education institutions like universities and colleges that manage multiple journals. To qualify for this plan, your institution must host at least three active non-student journals. Inactive journals can be included for a nominal annual fee, and student journal hosting is complimentary with a minimum of five active journals.
The Institutional Hosting Plan includes:
- Standalone OJS Installation: Separate installation for your institution.
- Daily Backups: Regular backups to protect your data.
- Security and Bug Fixes: Ongoing security patches and bug fixes.

- Custom Feature Development: Available at a discounted additional fee.
Institutions with five or more active regular journals will also receive unlimited free hosting for student journals, provided they maintain this minimum. Institutions not currently qualifying may upgrade to this plan once they meet the required number of active journals.
If you are already using OJS and wish to migrate to our hosting environment, we offer migration assistance for a one-time flat fee.
Archived Journal Hosting
For journals that are no longer actively published but need to remain accessible, our Archive Hosting Plan is ideal. This plan ensures your journal’s website and content remain online and discoverable, without requiring active support.
The Archive Hosting Plan includes:
- Shared or Standalone Installation: Flexible hosting options for your archived journal.
- SSL Certificate: Secure your archived website.
- Bug Fixes and Security Patches: Continued protection against vulnerabilities.

Migration services are available if you are moving from another OJS installation or platform.
