The Wikimedia Foundation does not guarantee the quality of, nor does it endorse, any of the services listed.
Hosting services that offer automatic installation of MediaWiki may provide outdated versions or have other issues. If you encounter problems, it
does not
mean you cannot install MediaWiki; it simply means you should
install it manually
If you want to run a MediaWiki wiki and don't want to maintain your own infrastructure, you might be interested in the
wiki farms
and hosting services listed below.
In addition, most regular web hosting companies allow for installing MediaWiki without too much trouble, although maintaining and upgrading the code would still in most cases be up to you.
You can also install a pre-made
software bundle
or
software "appliance"
on a
virtual private server
Do not add hosting services to this list without directly linking to a page that
explicitly
states MediaWiki hosting.
