What is a Wiki Farm?

A wiki farm is a hosted solution where you can create your own wiki without having to engage a developer.

Why would I use a Wiki Farm

If you are on a limited budget, or just want to get your feet wet with wiki, a wiki farm is a great place to start.

Things to look out for

• Make sure you can easily move your data off if your website grows. No fun having your data held hostage.
• Make sure the host website will be around for a while and offers support. Many of the wikifarms have become abandoned. No fun not having any support.
• Learning curve. All wikis have a learning curve. Each tool is different. A good wiki farm will have training help and videos
