For the last few years we've always sent people tohttp://wikimatrix.org , does it lack something now?Nemo10:50, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
In case you're planning on starting a wiki on Wikia, don't. They are rude, awful people that only care about money. You'd be much better of just paying for a better service where you can actually decide how you operate and what skin you use.95.145.110.9819:29, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
As of 2013 the VPS offered by Network Solutions offered a Centos 4 OS which was not suitable for installation of Lua modules without substantial upgrading of its setup which could not be accomplished using the control panel. [:En:GNU Compiler Collection GCC] needed to be upgraded manually, a daunting task in order for Lua dependencies to be installed. Upside, you will learn a lot...Fred Bauder (talk)12:33, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
As of early 2013 ibiblio granted only 500mb of memory to hosted wikis. This will not work out for a wiki of any size. The installation of dependencies requires negotiation with the technical staff, which changes over the years with the degree of support varying. As you do not have root access changing anything which requires root access involves making requests to the technical staff which may or may not be understood or responded to. When Wikinfo left ibibio after several years of not running jobs there were several hundred thousand jobs in the queue.Fred Bauder (talk)12:21, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
For whatever reason servers on 1 and 1 allocate only 4G memory to the var partition. Mysql is usually located in /var. Attempts to load backup .sql files or to populate the tables in mysql will result in full files and failure. "df -h" then produces this result:
[user]# sudo df -hFilesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on/dev/mapper/vg00-var 4.0G 4.0G 0 100% /var
There is also a shortage of inodes, only 262144. Each thumbnail in your images directory will take one inode...
The solution, which has worked with Ubuntu and Centos on 1&1, is to resize the partition:
sudo lvextend -L +46G /dev/mapper/vg00-var Extending logical volume var to 50.00 GiB Logical volume var successfully resized&
Then:
[user]# sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg00-varresize2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)Filesystem at /dev/mapper/vg00-var is mounted on /var; on-line resizing requiredold desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 4Performing an on-line resize of /dev/mapper/vg00-var to 13107200 (4k) blocks.dfThe filesystem on /dev/mapper/vg00-var is now 13107200 blocks long.[user]# dfFilesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on/dev/mapper/vg00-var 51606140 4133400 44851892 9% /var[user]# df -iFilesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on/dev/mapper/vg00-var 3276800 42688 3234112 2% /var
This problem may manifest as a mysql error such as "ERROR 1114 (HY000) at line 9061: The table 'hrtext' is full" which gives a bad clue as you might think something has to be done about how mysql is configured when the actual problem is lack of allocated disc space.Fred Bauder (talk)12:58, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Has Wikkii died? If so I think it should be removed from the page.

Hi All
Looking for a hosting service that supports visual editor and flow, any suggestions?
ThanksMrjohncummings (talk)05:41, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
Disagree. It is useful to have a list of hosting providers that support MediaWiki, even if it's incomplete and includes commercial services.Rob Kam (talk)05:47, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
I can't edit this page; could someone please add that Gamepedia is plastered with advertisements?Nyphrex (talk)11:52, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Would somebody please add for MyWikis, they now offer VisualEditor:
| [http://www.mywikis.com/ MyWikis]| USA| Yes|| no| paid| Yes (included)| FTP and SSH| Ticketed support system, email, and phone| Yes| Unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth. VisualEditor available with MyWikis Pro and above plans.<br />[https://www.mywikis.com/hostedparsoid A dirt-cheap hosted Parsoid plan] is available to non-MyWikis wikis.
If you would like to corroborate this with MyWikis Support, please feel free to email them at contact [at] mywikis [dot] com. Thanks!Grapetheratclerk (talk)04:46, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
All I see when I visit the linked site is a Main Page that tells the user they offer MediaWiki hosting. The only other page on the wiki describes Visual Editor. I can't find anything that suggests they offer MediaWiki hosting anywhere else but that main page, and certainly no way to get in on it. :-/ Should it be removed from this list?Purplewowies (talk)16:40, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello,
the german hosting provider linevast (https://linevast.de/angebote/webspace-mieten.html) does offer an automatic install of mediawiki (also with automatic upgrades, backups and restore option).
The webspace is not for free, but the 1-click-setup is free included. It is not a free hosting.
Regards!Doringne (talk)17:27, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
I signed up for the hosting service MyWikis several weeks ago and have not had any communication with them. I recently created a help ticket on their website, but did not get any communication from them. I know that WikiMedia does not have any involvement in these commercial activities, but would appreciate it if someone know something they would let the community know. If the site no longer is accepting hosting commitments, I would consider removing them from the active list on this page.

Do we know of any hosts that take privacy of their users (and readers) seriously and pro-actively take measures to protect it? If so it might be a nice quality to add to the table. Things like having a warrant canary would be things to look for.Greg G (talk)18:52, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Can I request to add CiviHosting to this page. I believe the code would be:
| [https://civihosting.com/mediawiki-hosting/ CiviHosting] | USA, Europe | | | no | paid | Yes| SSH access | 24/7 Support | Yes | Shared and VPS accounts, free installation and migration, 24/7 support
We are a host actively involved in supporting FOSS, with contributions to several including Drupal, CiviCRM and most lately Nextcloud:https://nextcloud.com/blog/introducing-civihosting/

I think it does not make sense to have this table like this. Instead services that provide basically self-hosting should be separated from veritable wiki farms like ShoutWiki, Fandom, Miraheze who do most of the work and don't provide FTP/SSH.178.191.226.45 (talk)19:50, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
