What is MediaWiki hosting?

MediaWiki is an open-source content creation and management tool that powers many online encyclopedias, including Wikipedia, knowledge bases, manuals, documentation sites, and more. If you want to create your own Wiki site, you will need to purchase a MediaWiki hosting service to make it accessible online.

What are the advantages of using a VPS for MediaWiki hosting?

Generally speaking, VPS hosting comes with more flexibility, customization options, and better security than traditional hosting. As a VPS hosting provider, we offer full root access to your virtual private server, enabling you to manage your wikis as you see fit. For better security, we provide a dedicated IP address, a malware scanner, and a built-in firewall. In contrast, you will have to share server resources with other website owners when using traditional MediaWiki web hosting. This makes it less customizable and secure.

Which Hostinger VPS plan is best for hosting MediaWiki?

As every Hostinger’s VPS hosting plan is suitable for MediaWiki, you should choose considering your online project’s needs. Starting at US$ 4.99/month , our KVM 1 plan comes with 1 vCPU core, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe disk space, and 4 TB bandwidth, ideal for managing your internal documentation. If you want to start your own online encyclopedia, you might want to consider the KVM 8 plan – starting at US$ 19.99/month , it offers 8 vCPU cores, 32 GB RAM, 400 GB NVMe disk space, and 32 TB bandwidth.

Do I need special knowledge to host MediaWiki?

As we provide self-managed VPS hosting services, you might benefit from having some web development and server management skills. However, even beginners can handle wiki hosting since we offer a user-friendly dashboard for easy server management, a MediaWiki VPS template for quick installation, and AI Assistant to help you out with VPS-related tasks.

How to use the MediaWiki VPS template?

First, install it by navigating to your VPS section on hPanel and selecting the template with MediaWiki. Once done, you can access your wiki website on a web browser, customize it, create content, and manage users. Refer to our guide on how to use the MediaWiki template for more information.
