Description[edit]

ElWiki is a former (now defunct) collection of wiki-based 'knowledgebases' on a variety of subjects. Users could create a wiki site on any subject, free of charge, and get a free .com, .net, or .org domain after hitting a certain threshold of activity. ElWiki was founded 2006, and went down around September / October 2007. The owner of this free MediaWiki wiki farm was Martin Rozinsky. During 2008, the ElWiki.com domain became a GoDaddy domain parking site.

People who want to start their own wiki site hosted by a third party should keep in mind that such disasters can happen. Seemingly very few of the wiki sites on this ElWiki farm survived, although The H-Town Wiki was migrated prior to being lost, and is still an active wiki.

Final message[edit]

From 21 February 2008:

"We're sorry... We're sorry about the downtime we've been having lately. Our previous hosting provider let us down. We can assure you this was as frustrating to you as it was to us. We've finally managed to migrate everything to a new set of servers. The new infrastructure should be significantly more reliable. We're still working on setting everything up, so some domains may be temporarily unavailable. We're also closed to new registrations until we can ensure stability for our existing users. — The ElWiki team."
