Hello,
I am thinking to start a new journal using OJS but I'm not sure what resources are required to run this system. What are the RAM and CPU requirements for this system? Would a shared hosting account supporting php and mysql be sufficient or would I need to have a virtual private server account? I assume this depends on the number of users accessing the service and the number of articles on the database but for a starting journal, which won't have an excessive amount of traffic, would a simple hosting account be sufficient?
Thanks!

Thanks but i'm not interested in such services. What i'm asking is whether a simple hosting account or a vps is required.

Hi ionas,
I know of a number of journals using a simple shared hosting account to run OJS. At a minimum though, you should check that the service meets OJS' system requirements (listed on the download page), and also allows SSH access (not strictly mandatory, but it really helps).
Cheers,
James
