What wiki hosting site you reccomend? (i'm planning to migrate from reddit wiki, don't need anything fancy: just page history,categories(or tags) and hyperlinks).

register with heliohost and write your own wiki software
HelioHost owns two physical servers: Stevie and Charlie. While Stevie is configured to interface our system directly with hardware, Charlie is configured to host virtual servers that, in turn, allow multiple instances of our system to interface with hardware. Johnny is one such virtual server. Stevie
Stevie offers only a subset of HelioHost's features. Specifically, Stevie does not have Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET, or Java/JSP. However, as a result Stevie is significantly more stable than Johnny. If you don't need any of the above three scripting platforms, we suggest that you select Stevie. Johnny
Johnny is a virtual server on Charlie. As such, Johnny is more limited in terms of system resources. However, Johnny offers the full Heliohost feature set. While this may sometimes lead to instability, it allows HelioHost to isolate such instability to the customers that need it. Please note that if you intend to use Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET, or Java/JSP you must sign up on Johnny because Stevie does not offer these services.

>>3,4 I'm not going to turn my machine into a server. Its not one 24/7 i have crappy upload speed and don't want to anger the ISP
>>7 >HelioHost owns two physical servers Do you get it? A hosting company with 2 servers. Two. Basically a garage with 4 computers and optic fiber is larger than this.
Do you get it? A hosting company with 2 servers. Two.
You're right, but they don't offer it for a cost. So people who use it don't mind as much. Tablecat, txtchan and some other guys use it and it works just fine. Except for the time their HDD failed with no backup and killed tablecat. But if OP just wants to host a wiki, I think it'll suit his needs!

Not having backups is not acceptable. A proper hoster has backups and database replication automatically set to recover from server loss.

The tablecat downtime is a joke.
How much would want to pay per month maximum frozen anus?
Then you can either go with 000webhost or heliohost. You can't be very picky when it's free!

>>12 To clarify: i just want alternative to hosting stuff on reddit, Not managing a server, paying for services, etc. Reddit is getting flaky lately, and its wiki functionality is pathethic(no page moving , forcing me to manually copy hundreds of pages)

>>15 Server hosting is better as you get full control, but if it's wiki hosting then you could go with wikia.
>Wikia has sometimes expanded by acquiring an existing wiki's domain name, user lists, and databases, from a founder or co-founder in return for money and stock options.[51] The original wiki is then shut down without consulting its editors or wider community, and the domain redirected to Wikia's version of the project. Basically Wikipedia SJWs + Corporate greed. I won't support it. They have a interesting section in terms of use: "Not to upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, limit the functionality of, or enable unauthorized access to any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment; " (Seems really vague and I post alot of code)

You're the wiki's founder, so who cares?
"Not to upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, limit the functionality of, or enable unauthorized access to any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment; " (Seems really vague and I post alot of code)
It basically means don't upload code that can be interpreted as an actual virus or something pretty malicious.

I've registered a wiki in wikidot.org, it works but its way more complex than reddit

>>35 1.I'm moving only software-related pages, and only those which i intend to maintain. 2.I will create a few extra wikis for other topics: a free account can have 5 wikis.
>>43 no, I'm not implementing frozenchess. I'm pretty sure I talked to you about it on progrider but to make a long story short: it's not an abstract game, it mixes simple (resource management-focused) mechanics with text-based narrative elements, with both aspects of the game affecting each other.

(A few obscure and small subreddits is basically the only reason i care now.) Reddit is indeed doing downhill: 1.Profile-based posts like Facebook 2.Video uploads(in additional to Images)+ video ads incoming. Video bandwidth is going to take a huge chunk of their Amazon expenses soon. 3.Alexa puts it as 8th most popular site worldwide: its now in spotlight for normies 4.Facebook refugees are now dominant on default subreddits. 5.All content got significantly dumber, comments that get upvoted are either memes or sharing the common reddit sentiment about the topic. 6.Their shitty python-based infrastructure is barely able to hold at peak times. Oh and on top of that they still rely on Reddit gold as major source of income. And all reddit alternatives are still worse: either barely affording bandwidth or getting 100 visitors per day on some obviously shilled articles.

I don't think you understand how much not-technology it is. Just open their front page and count how many are not technology For me it's easily 40-60% not technology, and that's without exaggeration.

It would be very cheap to host a text-only version of reddit. It would be somewhat expensive to host images i.redd.it to host videos on the 7th largest site will bankrupt them, Even youtube isn't profitable. Online video is incredibly expensive: both latency and bandwidth costs become astronomical for popular content. They won't start such an expensive function just to please users: they intend it to be showcased feature to investors and important selling point (we got "profile posts", "image and video uploads", we can compete with facebook and youtube)
