ShoutWiki – express yourself and be heard — is a, advertising-supported () wiki hosting service – aka a wiki farm, which uses the  software. ShoutWiki offer three different types of free wiki hosting solutions; of which each one has different features: public wikis, private wikis, and school / university wikis. ShoutWiki hub (in its various languages) is the help and support 'meta' wiki site for the entire ShoutWiki wiki farm.

Unlike many other s, ShoutWiki offers compared to a standard MediaWiki installation. One notable example is - features like user profiles, boards, friending and foeing, gifts, awards, and so on - which can be used to enhance the wiki experience and make editing more fun and appealing. As of early 2022, ShoutWiki is available with the option of fifteen (15) skins, with some skins created and / or adapted by ShoutWiki members. However, it should also be noted that some standard MediaWiki features are disabled on ShoutWiki.[which?]

ShoutWiki had a major outage on 17 June 2011, that lasted until around 10 January 2012. Since it took this long time to set up a new server, and probably many wikis would have been moved to another host, staff decided that they'll recover existing wikis on demand.
 * ''Major outages

On 3 March 2012, there was another major outage. This time, however, there was a problem with the backup system; and all edits made since the last recover were lost, so nothing had been recovered since 17 June 2011.
