Hello Chris, thanks for the feedback. I know that I have to consider a lot of things if hosting the Koha server in-house. The only advantage would be cost.
You ave me a good feeling for choosing an ISP. I will have look at the ISP Franz has mentioned. 3.99€/month is a good price. IONOS asks for 10€/Monat (VPS M: 2 Core, 2G RAM, 80G SSD) Heinz Am Sonntag, 26.
