Preserve the collection

Fire, mold, bit rot, and glitches are coming for the archive. Catch the items, stop the threats. It's a small game about the job we do for you every day, minus the spaceship.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can't find what you're looking for? Email our support team and we'll get back to you.

Is there a limit on modules, plugins, or themes?

No. Install as many as you like from the official Omeka directory, plus our premium modules and themes, which are included with every plan.

Is there a limit to the number of sites I can have?

Some plans have a site limit. Check the plan details on the pricing page for the maximum on each plan.

What if I go over my storage limit?

We'll let you know when you're over. You can then remove content or move to a larger plan.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. We also give every site a free subdomain, which is handy for getting started or as a staging copy for testing upgrades.

Which versions of Omeka do you support?

Both Omeka S and Omeka Classic. You choose the version when you create a site, and you can upgrade from the dashboard when a new release lands.

Can I resell sites hosted on RefBytes?

No. Sites on RefBytes are for use by members of your own organization.
