A '''wiki hosting service''', or '''wiki farm''', is a [[Server (computing)|server]] or an [[Server farm|array of servers]] that offers users tools to simplify the creation and development of individual, independent [[wiki]]s.
 
Prior to wiki farms, someone who wanted to operate a wiki had to install the software and manage the server(s) themselves. With a wiki farm, the farm's administration installs the core wiki code once on its own servers, centrally maintains the servers, and establishes unique space on the servers for the content of each individual wiki with the shared core code executing the functions of each wiki.

==Comparison of wiki hosting services==
This '''comparison of [[wiki hosting service]]sservices''' or '''wiki farms''' is not comprehensive, it details only those '[[Notability in the English Wikipedia|notable]]' enough (in Wikipedia terms) to be included. A useful comprehensive comparison of wiki farms can be found on [[MediaWiki]]'s site, at [[mw:Hosting services]].
 
Online services which host [[wiki]]-style editable [[web page]]s. General characteristics of cost, presence of advertising, licensing are compared, as are technical differences in editing, features, wiki engine, multilingual support and syntax support.
