'''Wikkii – ''free wiki hosting''''' — [[:Category:Dead|was]] a free [[:Category:United Kingdom|British]] [[wiki farm]] that provided fully featured [[:Category:WikiFarm|hosting]] for [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]] on any [[:Category:Wiki Topic|topic]]. It used the popular [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software, and it was [[:Category:Free MediaWiki wiki farms|100% free]] for users and individual [[wiki]] site owners. Founded | '''Wikkii – ''free wiki hosting''''' — [[:Category:Dead|was]] a free [[:Category:United Kingdom|British]] [[wiki farm]] that provided fully featured [[:Category:WikiFarm|hosting]] for [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]] on any [[:Category:Wiki Topic|topic]]. It used the popular [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software, and it was [[:Category:Free MediaWiki wiki farms|100% free]] for users and individual [[wiki]] site owners. Founded January [[:Category:FoundedIn2009|2009]],[https://web.Archive.org/web/20140415005504/http://Wikkii.com/wiki/About] Wikkii hosted over 3,000 wiki sites; the vast majority of those were a sub-domain of <tt>[[Wikkii.com]]</tt>. Double-digit quantities of enhanced wikis were hosted as sub-domains of <tt>Wikkii.net</tt>. Individual Wikkii site URLs were created in the format of: <tt>YourWiki.Wikkii.com</tt> or <tt>YourWiki.Wikkii.net</tt>. Sadly, it became evident that the Wikkii operation was not managed as robustly as needed to support four-digit quantities of wiki sites; with availability of service suffering with poor access speed, and occasional outages of varying timespans. Indeed, one such major site-wide [[:Category:Cannot connect|outage]] affected Wikkii during part of October 2012. Fortunately, any Wikkii wiki sites which had their own domain did not seem to be affected by the October 2012 outage. | ||
New [[owner]]s subsequently took over the Wikkii operation, but failed to provide any sustainable levels of service improvement, and eventually seemed to have [[:Category:GoalAbandoned|abandoned]] upkeep of the site. Pages on various [[:Category:Wikkii|Wikkii]] sites loaded very slowly, if at all. According to various Wikkii [[editor]]s, those new owners did not responded to enquiries concerning the site. An [https://www.Facebook.com/pages/Wikkii/106502989470486 unofficial Facebook page]([http://archive.is/K1sa4 archive link]) was created in order to seek and collate any information.
