Let's discuss hosting MediaWiki on Dathorn shared hosting
(MediaWiki is basically PHP + MySQL. So I'll start this here; let me know if another Forum area would be better)
I run three MediaWiki instances on my Dahtorn shared hosting account:
* http://teflpedia.com -- two people participating; belongs to one of them, not me (I'm just site admin)
* http://teflchina.org -- very quiet wiki for an active Yahoogroup
* http://wikigogy.org -- (closed but still online for gradual content migration to the two above wikis)
I SSH into the server for most site administration work. I use cPanel for downloading backups, creating email forwarders, and viewing Awstats. I find extension ConfirmEdit (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit) with QuestyCaptcha useful to limit spam bots.
Dathorn's awesome shared hosts serve MediaWiki beautifully!
Anyone hosting MediaWiki on a Dathorn server, welcome to add tips or questions to this thread!
