Need help beyond self-service?
KohaSupport Managed Services is available for libraries that want help with migration, setup, training, customization, or ongoing support.
AWS infrastructure charges are billed separately by AWS. Custom domains are supported on Standard and Enterprise, but your library must provide its own domain.
