{{short description|Wikimedia list article}}
This '''comparison of [[wiki hosting service]]s''' 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.
