Wikifarm

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A wiki farm is a server on which a Wikiinstallation many wikis can be provided. This significantly simplifies server administration, because not every wiki has to be installed and maintained separately in a wiki farm. The wiki software itself is only installed once on the server and then used by all wikis. Separate configuration files and databases or other storage locations for the content are created for the individual wikis .

Wikifarms are used by hosting providers who host many wikis. Customers then do not have to install their wikis themselves or maintain technical equipment. You can set up your wikis via a user interface with your provider.

There are non-commercial and commercial providers of wiki farms. The offers of the individual providers of wiki farms differ in addition to the pricing by various options, the storage space provided and the wiki software used , e.g. B. MediaWiki or DokuWiki .
