Wiki Hosting

What is a Wiki?

A wiki is a type of website, which allows users to collaborate openly to create informational or know-how pages. The major feature that distinguishes it from other websites is, that anyone with an interest in a subject, and necessary knowledge can edit the page. A wiki structure also prioritizes interlinking between related topics. This encourages users to navigate from one page to related pages to learn more, while also making it easy for individuals to discover relevant information. That helps them understand the topic better, and gives a broad solution to the problem.

We can say that wikis are tools for publishing, collecting, and discovering from a variety of sources. And, gaining knowledge from numerous minds can contribute to a wider range of solutions and information to any topic.

Wiki hosting

Wiki hosting services or wiki farms are servers, that provide users with the server storage space and essential tools to create self-contained wiki sites. Administering the servers individually can be very tough, maintaining the uptime and securing the entire server infrastructure. Thankfully A wiki hosting service installs all the prerequisites to run the wiki software. Once it’s on the servers, the site is maintained centrally, and creates a unique space on the servers for each wiki's content, where the core code performs the wiki's duties.

Unlike a business site, where you want to keep the information on every page under your control, a Wiki website allows others to contribute as well. Though offering valuable knowledge to their customers is an important aspect of any corporate website, it isn't the focus of a wiki site. Wikis aren't appropriate for every context, but for information sharing or collaborative sites, they can be an excellent solution. Wiki hosting should not be confused with the wiki family. Our Shared web hosting service allows you to establish any wiki site on the wiki hosting servers, with the help of software tools known as wiki engines or wiki CMS platforms
