WikiHub

From the Wikis Wiki, a wiki about wikis

WikiHub was a free wiki hosting service that ran MediaWiki. It was created around 2013 by former Wikkii users after an ownership transfer resulted in sysadmin and staff inactivity. The same members of Wikkii who founded WikiHub had established and contributed to the Community Wiki at Wikkii and attempted to improve the service by improving the sense of community and cooperation between wikis. On February 6, 2014, it was shut down due to the wiki farm having very little community involvement and the few wikis that were created were quickly abandoned, the plan that advertising revenue would offset the server costs of the service didn't work out. The wiki hosting service, even in this very small state, proved to consume enormous resources from the virtualized Linux server on which it was based, and was getting to RAM memory limitation, and causing long load times on all websites hosted on the server.[1]
