MediaWiki is a free application, registered under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It is used to run Wikipedia, the World's largest online encyclopedia, as well as many other wikis. Mediawiki provides a rich set of features. It is the most popular wiki software and there are lots of extra resources available for it. To use Mediawiki you should first of all install it on your wiki hosting account. Your hosting plan should allow PHP scripts and have at least one MySQL database. MediaWiki tutorial includes the following sections: how to install Mediawiki on your account How to change Mediawiki skin/template. Here you can find skins for MediaWiki. How to change page name How to add links How to create sections and categories How to edit posts in Mediawiki Mediawiki allows adding of extensions such as images, Forum, etc. File upload feature allows the upload of graphics or sound files.

"Be polite" is the first rule on the WebHostingTalk Forum Guidelines page, and this rule applies here too. If you disagree with another member, discuss the topic, not the member, on the talk page for the article in question. If you have facts to share, back them up, and if you're discussing opinions, respect different points of view. Wikiquette has more information about being polite in a wiki setting.

Wiki writing is collaborative writing. Collaborative writing offers these benefits: Because we're sharing knowledge, each page can have better content than if just one person had contributed to it. Content can be updated whenever information changes. If having other people change what you wrote bothers you, wiki writing may not be for you. See Editing for other ways to participate in this wiki.

When feasible, we contact members about problems. Depending on the situation, we ask the member to fix the problem, or we fix it ourselves. If members repeatedly cause problems in the wiki, or if the problems are severe (e.g., spam or vandalism), we may block those members from wiki participation. Our goal is to work with members and to block them only as a last resort. If an edit war erupts over a page or its discussion becomes too heated, we may lock the page for a few days. Doing so provides a cooling-off period for everyone and gives us time to make any necessary changes to the page.

We will not release any member information unless under court order to do so. A more detailed version of our privacy policy is on our WebHostingTalk Privacy Policy page.

The word blog comes from web log or weblog. Blogs are website entries published in diary format with the date and time appearing with each blog entry. Entries can be grouped by category, and the home page displays the most recent entries. Blogs often have diary-type content, but increasingly, blogs have been used for business and information sites as well. Active blogs have new content added to them regularly, and readers often have the option to comment on the content. Numerous blog software programs are available, many of which are free. RSS feeds make blog content instantly available to subscribers, making the blog format good for SEO as well as for its ease of use.

Blogs of some type have existed since the beginning of the Internet, before the term blog was even fashioned. Blogging was done in the form of mailing lists, Usenet posts, and bulletin board systems (BBS). However, people wanted to publish personal or business content, and blogs were introduced. By following a website format, blogs were meant to simplify posting.

When the blog bandwagon took off, companies started creating remotely hosted services that allowed users to sign up and start their own blog. While publishing content to the blog was easy, the services lacked some functions for professional bloggers who needed more control of their blogs. Then came the developer-hosted blogs, whereby users can download and install blog applications on their hosting account. Today, there are hundreds of such applications for different development platforms. The blog bandwagon turned into an explosion with millions of blogs being launched by web enthusiasts. It didn't take long for web hosting companies to realize the revenue-generating potential of blogs. They started creating plans geared for blogs and developed their own blogging applications or offered pre-installed blogs

Decide if you want to build your own blogging application or offer pre-installed developer-hosted blogs. With the cPanel add-on Fantastico, you can offer easy installation of web applications, including blogs. Create different plans with different bandwidth and disk space allocation that will allow and motivate your customers to upgrade. Offer blogging tips and tutorials to those unfamiliar with the concept of blogging or the blogging software that your company offers. Consider offering other products like image/video galleries, RSS, and podcast technologies that customers can easily integrate in their blog.
