[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace Hosting Services

[R. C. Miessler]

We signed on with Atlas this year and they've been great to work with. We initially considered LibraryHost but felt that their lack of an on-staff ASpace specialist who could help with configuration and training was a concern, as well as that they are not an ASpace registered service provider. They also advised they do not have "set support hours" but will get back to you in 24 hours if it is urgent, and this was a bit of a deal-breaker.

Atlas was great for everything, our data migration from Past Perfect took a bit longer than expected but it was a weird request to begin with.

I think LH is probably fine if you already have people on staff familiar with both ASpace as a program and the technical knowledge to know how to direct them in terms of plugins, updates, etc. This was all new for us, so Atlas was the better route.

Hi all,

We are exploring options for hosting services for ArchivesSpace and are looking mainly at the standard plans at Atlas<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.atlas-sys.com%2farchivesspace&c=E,1,Q-Sf8iXDMj9nJfnXFQ51VNhZC_x_WvfjtTYQpFVuuNMBlhvUNvIMdovGQTh605JI-NX6BGKfajZV_kE5BX52yPwr9mjmWTfO02FeWjPMIBqPEM_T-v9Pt3pEsg,,&typo=1> and Library Host<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2flibraryhost.com%2fpricing%2f%23archivesspace&c=E,1,9do8rUNxByr13Z7mXr0KeoYQLkP8ndALEr8jlAj6Eu46XoURbqDPgs2QvSmnrWZFvJAtP5BRUR92YOVWr733X6nYTQTc0k-mVY1sa4JP&typo=1> (as the more simplified and cheaper option). We initially looked at Lyrasis, but as a small institution it is a bit out of price range and their price tiers set up by the number of finding aids were unusual. We have been hosting ArchivesSpace in house, but our IT department has encouraged us to look for other options! Does anyone have experience with using Atlas or Library Host as a host for ArchivesSpace? I would love to touch base with someone coming from a small archives with a limited budget. The price range and what they offer between Atlas and Library Host is large so I'm curious about people's experiences with them. Do people use other hosting companies? Thanks!

Sincerely,
Sarah
