'''MW Zip''' was a specialised {{tag|Free MediaWiki wiki farm|free MediaWiki host}}. The service was created for fast, reliable, and secure {{tag|MediaWiki wiki farm|MediaWiki hosting}}. Its features were demonstrated on its [[MW Zip Demo Wiki]].[https://web.archive.org/web/20160930194459/http://Demo.MWZip.com/] | |||
At MW Zip, the [[staff]] only hosted MediaWiki and nothing else. As such, the servers were tweaked for maximum wiki performance and stability. | |||
Standard wikis had everything fully managed with our automated updates. Every wiki was fully separate and isolated, with no shared [[user]]s and individual [[:Category:Database|databases]]. This means they could be customised on a per-wiki basis without affecting any other hosted wiki. | |||
Pro wikis were designed for expert users, and had the ability to connect via FTP and SSH2 (command line) for in-depth wiki customizing, such theme and LocalSettings.php editing, installing new [[:Category:MediaWiki extension|extensions]], database management, and running maintenance scripts. | |||
MW Zip was founded in January {{tag|Founded in 2014|2014}} as a paid managed MediaWiki host. Due to limited interest, in May 2014 the service was changed to free MediaWiki hosting. In [[Archive.org:20160709084542/http://MWZip.com/|July 2016]], it was announced that MW Zip {{tag|Former MediaWiki wiki farm|shut down}}, and as of December 2016, the MW Zip [[wiki farm]] is dead, its former URL redirects to unrelated spam. | |||
