MoinMoin Cloud Hosting

Quick, Simple, and Scalable MoinMoin Cloud Hosting

What is MoinMoin Cloud Hosting?

MoinMoin Cloud hosting from Steadfast Networks gives you access to an application that is an exceptionally easy-to-use WikiEngine for creating Wikipedia-like, user-updatable content sites. Essentially, it lets you create your own version of Wikipedia.

Unlike other Wiki creation tools, MoinMoin's storage mechanism doesn't require database software like MySQL and is instead constructed with flat files and folders, allowing for more intuitive organization and site navigation that's proven to be faster than competitors. MoinMoin is written in the Python programming language, known for its extreme readability, making it as easy as possible to get straight to creating your Wiki site.

MoinMoin's software offers many unique WikiEngine features, including:

Revision History, with the capability to store backups of all page revisions
Xapian-based indexed search – also applied to revision history and attachments
WikiSynchonization to keep content in sync
Unicode support
Email and Jabber Notification
Email Import, allowing you to write email to your wiki pages
MoinMoinBugs, a built-in bug tracker

MoinMoin is the WikiEngine of choice for developers, and is used on the Wiki sites of software like Ubuntu, Apache, Linux, and Python. As an open-source application, MoinMoin is constantly being upgraded. The MoinMoin site offers an up-to-the-minute SecurityFixes resource, as well as a FeatureRequest portal so that wishes and requests can be sent directly to the developers. MoinMoin is the clear choice for creating Wiki sites that are both easy to update and incredibly fast to navigate.
