About MediaWiki
MediaWiki is the wiki engine that runs Wikipedia. It handles pages and revisions, categories, templates, discussion, uploads, search and a detailed permission system, and it is built to keep working when the number of articles and editors gets very large.
- Version we install
- 1.44.0
A database is created for it automatically.
Why people choose MediaWiki
Anything that has to hold a lot of interlinked knowledge, edited by a lot of people, ends up wanting what MediaWiki already has — full page history, templates so a change is made once, categories that organise themselves and a permission model that can be as open or as closed as you need. It is also the engine your contributors most likely already know.
What our hosting does for MediaWiki
- Scheduled tasks are included, which is how MediaWiki's job queue is meant to be run — link updates, category changes and re-renders happen in the background instead of being charged to the next reader.
- Content delivery caching and the site accelerator sit in front of the wiki, so the overwhelmingly read-only traffic is served from the edge and only real edits reach PHP.
- You choose the PHP version and can change its settings, which is what uploads and image processing need when a wiki carries more than text.
Plans and pricing
MediaWiki runs on our Linux hosting. One plan, everything included.
- Try it firstEvery managed plan starts with a free trial of 14 days, so you can put a real site on it before you pay for anything.
- 30-day money-back guaranteeIf a managed plan is not right for you, tell us within 30 days of your first payment and we refund it. Application hosting is covered. Read the refund policy
- Real support, includedSupport is included on every plan, from people who run this platform rather than a script. Accounts that cannot wait can go to the front of the queue. How priority support works

Questions people ask before they buy
How do I install MediaWiki?
From the applications section of your dashboard. Choose MediaWiki, pick the domain, and the install runs — including the database, if it needs one.
Which version do you install?
The current release from the platform's application catalogue. You can update it yourself afterwards like any other install.
Can I run other applications alongside it?
Yes. There is no cap on websites or databases on our Linux plan, so you can run MediaWiki beside anything else on this list.
Do I get SSH and database access?
Yes — SSH, SFTP, phpMyAdmin and remote MySQL are all included, so you are never locked out of your own install.
Where will it be hosted?
London, Dallas or Singapore — your choice, all live today.
Can you migrate an existing MediaWiki site?
Yes. Send us the details of your current host and our team runs the migration for you.
