Semantic MediaWiki Hosting From People Who Understand It
Semantic MediaWiki is more than a standard wiki. It turns MediaWiki into a structured knowledge management system, allowing pages to store, query, and display data in powerful ways. That makes it extremely useful, but it also means the hosting environment needs to be configured carefully.
We know Semantic MediaWiki, we host Semantic MediaWiki, and we are here to help. Whether you are building a small internal knowledge base or a larger data-driven wiki, we can set up the right hosting environment for your project.

Most Popular Account Sizes
Shared
SINGLE VPS
EXTREME VPS
The latest stable version of Semantic MediaWiki is tested and confirmed to run on our shared hosting and VPS hosting accounts. We take server upgrades seriously and test compatibility before upgrading our hosting environment.
Standard hosting includes upgrades to the server environment, including the LAMP stack and related hosting components. MediaWiki application upgrades, Semantic MediaWiki upgrades, extension upgrades, and custom wiki development are separate services and can be quoted when needed.
Shared Hosting or VPS Hosting?
Our shared hosting works well for many standard Semantic MediaWiki sites, including private wikis, documentation sites, research projects, organizational knowledge bases, and smaller structured-data wikis.
For larger wikis, higher traffic, heavier query usage, larger datasets, custom server requirements, or organizations that want more isolation and control, we also offer managed VPS hosting.
Fresh Installs and Free Migration
Most new clients start with a fresh MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki install, and we handle that setup for you. If you already have a Semantic MediaWiki site somewhere else, we can migrate it to CiviHosting at no extra charge.
Already have a Semantic MediaWiki site? We can move your files, database, images, extensions, and configuration from your current host to CiviHosting. Migration is free for standard Semantic MediaWiki hosting accounts.
Need More Storage?
We can provide additional disk space. Just contact us for a custom quote.

What Is Semantic MediaWiki?
Semantic MediaWiki is an extension for MediaWiki that allows wiki pages to store structured data. Instead of using pages only as articles, you can define properties, relationships, categories, queries, and reports inside the wiki.
This makes Semantic MediaWiki useful for projects where information needs to be organized, searched, filtered, and reused. It is often used for knowledge management, technical documentation, research databases, catalogs, organizational records, and other information-heavy projects.
Why Semantic MediaWiki Needs Good Hosting
A basic MediaWiki site can be fairly simple, but Semantic MediaWiki sites often have more complex extension requirements, heavier database usage, more advanced queries, and more custom configuration. Hosting quality matters.
CiviHosting provides a stable LAMP hosting environment with Apache, PHP, MariaDB/MySQL, backups, SSL, SSH access, and 24/7 support. For larger Semantic MediaWiki projects, we can recommend an appropriate VPS account instead of trying to force a larger site onto a small shared account.
Common Uses for Semantic MediaWiki
- Knowledge bases
- Research databases
- Technical documentation
- Internal company wikis
- Public information sites
- Catalogs and directories
- Structured organizational records
- Data-driven wiki reports
Semantic MediaWiki or Regular MediaWiki?
Regular MediaWiki is excellent when you want a flexible wiki for pages, documentation, collaboration, and content management. Semantic MediaWiki is better when your wiki also needs structured data, searchable properties, reusable information, and dynamic reports.
If you are not sure which option is right for your project, just contact us. We are happy to help you choose the right hosting setup.
