Deploy DSpace in one click installation.
Open-source institutional repository for preserving and sharing academic research, theses, and digital collections.
What you can build with DSpace
DSpace is the world's most widely used open-source repository platform, powering more than 2,000 institutional repositories at universities, libraries, museums, and research organizations. It captures, organizes, and preserves digital materials of any format — articles, theses, datasets, images, and audio — with rich Dublin Core metadata and persistent Handle identifiers for permanent citation.
Self-hosting DSpace on your own VPS keeps full ownership of scholarly content, preservation policies, and access rules in-house. The bundled REST API, Angular interface, Solr discovery layer, and OAI-PMH endpoint give institutions a complete repository stack without recurring SaaS fees or vendor lock-in.
Key features of DSpace
Item versioning
Track multiple versions of articles, datasets, and theses so researchers can update submissions without losing citation history.
OAI-PMH harvesting
Built-in OAI-PMH endpoint exposes metadata to Google Scholar, BASE, and other aggregators for global discoverability.
Handle persistent IDs
Every item receives a permanent Handle.net identifier so links survive URL changes and institutional rebranding.
Solr-powered search
Dedicated Solr backend delivers faceted browsing, full-text search, and usage statistics across millions of items.
Configurable workflows
Per-collection submission workflows with editorial review steps adapt to faculty, library, and departmental policies.
COAR Notify ready
Native support for COAR Notify protocols connects your repository to the emerging open peer review ecosystem.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
