Interserver provides
shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by Omeka
Omeka is an interesting cross between an online learning management system, and a content
management system. It is an open source option that allows users to create interactive archives as well
as other types of collections for easy publishing. It is compliant with Dublin-core standards, which are
often used by libraries and museums. The system was originally created specifically to make it easier
for archivists and university scholars to take the information they manage, and publish it online. Over
the years, however, it has become much more than that. Today Omeka is used to offer educational
experiences as well as access to incredible amounts of information.
The system is open-source, which helps to make it more flexible for most situations. They offer two
options, omeka.org which is much more customizable, and requires you to have your own hosing server
such as one offered by InterServer. The other option is omeka.net, which is hosted on the omeka
servers, and is much more locked down, but they do handle some of the back end management of the
platform for you. For most people, the omeka.org option is going to be the better choice.
