I am a fairly new DSpace user. I am closely associated with a number of volunteer historic societies and have a fairly good lay understanding of computing and internet. I have installed DSpace on a rented VPS (virtual private server), which is a virtual, online computer, where I have full control over the choice of operating system and all the other system components. My service costs about $15/mo, and you need to be sure you rent enough 'power' to properly run a DSpace installation (which gets run by a Java/Tomcat engine, not a http web server, like Apache). I have Ubuntu 18.04 installed (by the provider) and have used my own administration and the instructions provided by Lyrasis (and others) to install all the other prerequisites and finally DSpace, itself. It has taken a while for me to understand the concepts and follow the detailed instructions, but it is possible to get this running if you have a handy knowledge of Linux, the internet and computing in general. DSpace is currently at revision 6.x, and most of what I needed came from https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace . Most if not all of the basic information you need to know will be explained there. Good luck.
