Hosting Suggestions
If you lack access to a server that meets Omeka's basic requirements, try our Omeka.net hosted service.
The Omeka Team offers fully managed, isolated hosting, which includes installation and updating of the core software and any themes or plugins developed by the Omeka Team, and direct technical support.
Hosting companies that use Installatron should offer a one-click install of Omeka Classic. Hosting companies that use Softaculous should offer a one-click install of Omeka Classic and Omeka S.
