How much does a wiki website cost?

Answer 1

Website hosting depends on the services you need. The essential price (the cost for everything needed to host any website) usually costs $5 to $20 a year.

Server costs depend on the size of the website and the specifications of the servers. In this case, it is better to pay for fewer high-performance servers than more low-performance servers. This may cost anywhere from $1,000 to $1,000,000. I am not an employee of WikiAnswers; however, I can imagine that hosting such a website could probably cost $200,000.

Programmers, technicians, hardware specialists and networking specialists need to be paid. 72 employees (both of Answers.com and WikiAnswers) probably would be paid $5,000,000 to $20,000,000 in total.

Excluding salaries, hosting a website like WikiAnswers would probably cost $200,000.

Answer 2

This is dependent on your web host, and not on the site being a wiki per se. There are many free wiki farms, such as Wikia or YourWiki. You can also lease a server from a hosting company, such as 1and1 or Dreamhost, and gain more control over your wiki than on a wikifarm.

Answer 3

"You can have your page on a server for free with no frills if you want to do it yourself with no support. A premium Web Hosting service will cost around 11.00 dollars a month but will supply you support, emails , shopping carts and many extras while letting you still have full control over your site."
