{{ | {{TOC right}}'''ElWiki''' is a [[:Category:Former wiki farm|former]] (now defunct) [[:Category:Wiki farm|collection]] of [[wiki]]-based '[[:Category:Knowledge|knowledgebases]]' on a variety of subjects. [[User]]s could create a wiki site on any [[:Category:Wiki Topic|subject]], free of charge, and get a free <tt>.com</tt>, <tt>.net</tt>, or <tt>.org</tt> domain after hitting a certain threshold of activity. [[:Category:ElWiki|ElWiki]] was [[:Category:Founded in 2006|founded 2006]], and went [[:Category:Former MediaWiki wiki farm|down]] around September / October 2007. The owner of this [[:Category:Free MediaWiki wiki farm|free MediaWiki wiki farm]] was Martin Rozinsky. During 2008, the <tt>ElWiki.com</tt> domain became a {{Wp|GoDaddy}} domain parking site. | ||
People | 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 [[WhatIsWiki|wiki sites]] on this ElWiki farm survived, although [[The H-Town Wiki]] was migrated prior to being lost, and is still an [[:Category:Active|active]] wiki. | ||

{{Cquote|"We're sorry... We're sorry about the [[:Category:Cannot connect|downtime]] we've been having lately. Our previous [[:Category:Web hosting|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."}} | |||
