Wiki software: free Mediawiki installation with DH hosting plan
The Dreamhost hosting plan comes with a bunch of free and easy to configure software. Last time, we talked about Zen Cart, the shopping cart software. Let us no point our attention to the MediaWiki one-click installation.
Mediawiki is without a doubt the best known amongst the wiki software applications. Why? Because it is used for the most famous wiki on the interwebs: Wikipedia.
Take a look at Wikipedia and you’ll know what kind of functionality your Dreamhost Mediawiki Installation will provide you with: a Wiki is a website where a visitor can edit any page or to create new pages through the browser. Editing and adding links in a Wiki is very easy and intuitive.
Some of Mediawiki features: skins, printable versions of articles; automatic resizing of images; extended recent changes; edit toolbar; talk pages; message notification; different rights for anonymous users, signed in users, sysops, bureaucrats and developers; full text search…
Why on earth would you want your own Wiki? Well, you could set up a Wiki for your website and let your visitors add content, ie document the episodes of a television show or build an encyclopedia on your local sports team. But while wiki’s are typically used for collaborative webites and community sites, you could very well use Mediawiki for your own private projects. Set up a wiki as your personal online notebook and never loose a quote, a link or a picture.
With Dream host it will take you about five minutes to have a Wiki up and running. Fill out a few fields, click the “install it for me now”-button and Dreamhost will install a brand new wiki for you. Be sure to use one of our Dreamhost coupon codes when sign up with DH and you’ll pay even less.

Completely frightened of downloading stuff from internet, let alone configuring and installation softwares into my computer. Yet, I want to set up an ecommerce shop. Is your packaged + installation easy for a dummy like me to use.
