A2 Hosting

  • __http://www.a2hosting.com/(external link)
    added 24 December 2008 by A2 Hosting
  • A2 Hosting has Tiki Wiki Hosting(external link) plans with Fantastico starting from just $4.95/month. Tiki Wiki can be installed in minutes with Fantastico. We specialize in shared, reseller, VPS, semi-dedicated and dedicated hosting. There are two characteristics in particular that set us apart from our competition. One is our effort to keep on the cutting edge for versions of the software platforms that we support including PHP, MySQL, Linux and Apache. The second characteristic is our superior customer service. Our customers receive support from our superior support team known as the Guru Crew. This team is made up of knowledgeable system administrators that are friendly, patient and do not read from a script.

See my post (bottom of page) for more info. I'm satisfied with the dedicated server from A2 and installing/using Tiki 3.1 was easy
edmund(external link)

Update September 1, 2009 - I just opened a personal account "Executive Plan"(external link) with A2,
and it has many of the same features as that offered through the dedicated server account. One downside for Tiki, however, is that
A2 does not allow installation and use of either "catdoc" or "pdftotext" on a shared server environment. For those new to Tiki, these
little programs allow the text to be parsed out of MS Word, MS Exel, MS Powerpoint, and PDF documents, each time any of these files is uploaded
to Tiki's file gallery. The text is stored in the database, as is the binary file. This allows users to search for the text content of any of
these file types that reside within a Tiki gallery. Without these, a user cannot search for content within the files, only file names, descriptions,
etc. A work around to this limitation is to move up to a more expensive Virtual Private Server (VPS) plan, but most would probably find that solution
too pricey, unless one's Tiki site was being used to generate revenue.

  • I´am running Tiki with the All-Inkl PrivatPlus and All-Inkl Premium shared webhosting packets. Everything is fine, Tiki is running without problems.
  • Memory limit is at 64Megs. You can have your own htaccess with 128Megs!
  • Their service is fantastic! You could call or email them 7 days a week and you will get an answer.
  • You can talk with them about options (I my case the perl-script-running time) and they will change it if possible.
  • They have a tiki-installer but it´s very old (tiki 3.2)

  • AQ has been a pretty good fit for me as I am not a programmer, but like a lot of the software. They have cPanel and a deal called Installitron and Fantastico to upload all kinds of stuff like WP, Tiki, SMF...simply look at their list as it deals just about all with open source.
  • I pay $4/month for 2G of storage and 40G (I think it is) of bandwidth. The great thing here is that it is MONTH-TO-MONTH!
  • Their service is second to none; maybe an hour tops! They also have phone service available. Ryan is the gentleman I deal w/and he knows his stuff.
  • I can't speak to their larger packages as I am simply a hobo here in the states so we don't use a lot of space, but they have Virtual Servers as well.
  • Definately would recommend them to anyone!

They did it, the problem is solved they set the memory_limit to 32M. I'm testing Tiki 1.8.6 and 1.9.1 and it seems to work fine.

I contacted tech support and they indicated the Tiki quick install was coming "soon". I was able to install via FTP (latest version, 1.9.7 iirc).

  • I was able to figure out part of the email trouble with Godaddy sending out registration emails with version 4.2. (And many other emails as well) This should apply to several other hosting providers as well. They are blocking any {$mail_PARAMETERS} being used in the subject line of the email due to SPAM issues. Edit each of the templates in /tikiwiki-4.2/templates and saving them to /tikiwiki-4.2/templates/styles/YOURSTYLE/mail removing any {$mail_PARAMETERS} from within the templates with the word 'subject' in their file name before installing. After it is installed select the appropriate theme in Admin. Placing them in a custom style directory will make for smoother upgrades. (If your site is already installed you may want to backup your tikiwiki-4.2/templates_c directory and then remove all the files except the index.php. (Be sure to backup, in the process of troubleshooting this issue I had to restore the "en^%%XXXX%%tiki-adminusers.tpl.php" to have access to the "Users" menu at one point.) The site should regenerate the cached copies of the templates on its own? Once I did this I was able to successfully receive the registration emails. This was probably an unnecessary step, but I didn't want to wait to see if it would regenerate the correct cached copy. PLEASE NOTE: We aren't out of the woods here yet. I'm not able to send account verification emails from within the Users configuration. (I'm not getting any php errors either, yet I did with the new registration issues.) I'll post a fix if I find one.

  • I was able to install v. 5.0 successfully. I have some problems as I mentioned here(external link), but I am not sure if it is related to godaddy yet. We are using it as an internal wiki so I haven't really testing the emailing functionality yet.

Tiki Unfriendly hosts

Hosting offers that Tiki will not run on
Some hostings usually free or cheap have a too small configuration for tiki. Usually, you notice that by having a white page or a page partially displayed (don't mislead with the left col bug)) and sometimes with no message.

1and1 free hosting

  • 11/13/2003: 1and1.com - free hosting(external link) . The memory limit is 10MB but as php is installed as a cgi, the real free memory is around 3Mb and is too small for Tiki

bodhost cloud computing


oneandone

  • I've been having major problems with oneandone.co.uk(external link). under the professional hosting package, memory limit is 40MB but, as above, php is installed as CGI so very poor to broken performance - white pages or "out of dynamic memory" errors as noted above. Annoying since I've only just moved to this better hosts from web-mania who are much cheaper and very tikiwiki friendly, although the tech support is rubbish. See below. Russ Wilde

1und1 DE

  • Similar problems with the german stem of this company, which I just thought I'd add for completeness 1und1.de(external link) same deal as above apparently. ''

    March 2004''
  • I have several Tikis from 3.2 to 6.0 tested on a 1und.de managed Webserver.
  1. everything works fine and installation is made in some minutes, once you know some little trick, how to install
    -> just add local.php manually in /db (mind: $host_tiki='localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock';), add $api_tiki='adodb'; in the local.php and parse PHP5 with AddType x-mapp-php5 .php and ''AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php in the .htaccess
    -> then install with tiki-install.php
    I have never problems since we found that solution
    Once confirmed with a shared hosting account, I will move to friendly hosts

1Blu

  • used "homepage unlimited", their medium price hosting. It included 1500 MB webspace, 15 MySQL database, unlimited traffic, but having installed Tikiwkik 1.9.9 and using only one of the available 15 databases with a 30 people community i got database connection timeouts and php script timeouts on a regular basis. complained several times, nothing changed. So on 1Blu you could run a tikiwiki, but i add it here because the performance is so annyoingly low i lost most of my community because they got annoyed by the site, lost posts, etc. and the contract time for 1Blu is 2 years that you are stuck with them.

Greengeeks

15 Apr 2010
  • Greengeeks.com will kill your site if it uses more than 6sec of CPU time in any 60second interval. Seems that tiki-index.php can do this and then the site is taken offline with no warning and it can take 24hrs or more to get it back. I don't recommend this hosting service to anyone!

Lycos

  • Lycos, or more exactly, the free version (the German version, but this is applicable to co.uk etc. as well) is unfortunately not tikifriendly. It lacks PEAR support, and the manual install in the /lib folder won´t work as various functions, i.e. url_fopen, are deactivated. The PEAR web installer doesn´t work, furthermore register_globals is on as well as safe_mode, which makes it even more difficult. On install adodb didn´t work either.

))Web-Mania((

  • Memory limit is reported as only being 8Mb, this has caused problems for a Tiki site and the installation had to be moved to another host. Please confirm before ordering that PHP memory limit is either 16Mb or 32Mb - Added 12 June 2004
    I have removed web-mania from this page after I investigated this, see this conversation. RW


Zettai.net

  • As of March 1, 2005, with PHP safe mode turned on, Zettai.net is no longer a friendly host to TikiWiki.
  • http://www.zettai.net(external link)
  • Shared Apache 1.3 server hosting with these installed Apache modules: mod_ssl, mod_dav, mod_php4, mod_scgi and mod_perl
  • Using your own domain name recommended (by me), but not required
  • Bare bones LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) hosting; operating system is actually FreeBSD. See the http://www.zettai.net/ZopeHosting/ZopeProducts (ignore the references to Zope-specific software) and http://www.zettai.net/ZopeHosting/LAMP pages for details.
  • Extremely reliable, secure file transfer (SFTP) and secure remote login (SSH) supported, as well as WebDAV and SSL (the last only on the LAMP Basic and LAMP Standard plans)
  • E-mail and discussion forum support
  • As of March 1, 2005, because PHP safe mode was turned on by Zettai.net on its shared Apache servers, Tiki can no longer be installed through the installation script.
  • Basic LAMP plan $29 US/year; if you're starting out I recommend the LAMP Basic at $49 US/year, as this will give you up to 5 MySQL or PostgreSQL databases, one of which you can use for testing, and one for production

powweb.com


  • As of March 2005, Powweb have upgraded to MySQL 4.1 leaving our tiki sites broke frown which is a shame as otherwise their offering is good.

SBC Yahoo! ))WebHosting((

  • SBC Hosting(external link) memory_limit set at 8M with a 12M max — presumably if you ask nicely as it is not possible to access php.ini

  • Constantly his servers falls down and no warning about this and, not a good service. Bad argumentations about his falls, and a poor MySQL server performance. Tiki runs very bad here. I lost a year of payed host with this guys. My Money Back Guarantee end at 30 days of contract and the disaster comes after this time and the admin complain about "bad software code" (aka TIKIWIKI) to excuse about his low performance, when this warning could be set in the 1st month of contract. A total bad experience.
    update Nov 2005 by rjlabs?
  • I now agree with Io. The price is low $4/mo but the downtime is huge! Basic Apache/email uptime is acceptable but mySQL/PHP performance is horrible!!! Five request for service messages not returned for over a week now. I can't even get a 50 unit newsletter emailing out! NO ACCESS TO php.ini!

  • Be careful that even if they offer svn they do not allow you to svn with sourceforge
  • the max_allowed_packet is fixed to 64M and you can not change it

Network Solutions

I've had a domain registered with Network Solutions for years and decided to stay with them when putting up a Tiki Wiki site. While I was able to get Tiki Wiki running the performance was so bad that I canceled the order within a week.
  • http://www.networksolutions.com/(external link)
  • They have several different options with both Windows and Unix hosting
  • I went with a Large site configuration on Unix and a 3 year contract.
  • The only positive experience was the ability to add php.ini to cgi_bin, which allowed a site specific configuration.
  • There were very little tools and scripts available. File Manager, phpmysqladmin, and FTP are pretty much it.
  • They have scripts to install Tiki Wiki but it's the 3.2 LTS version. This was one of the reasons I decided to go with them, but I installed 6.2 instead of using their script.
  • Performance was HORRIBLE! average access time was 8-10 seconds with 15+ seconds fairly common. Just going back to the home page would usually take 10 seconds.
  • They have a 30 day money back guarantee - but it's not a full refund. I cancelled within 5 days and only got back %80 of what I paid for the 3 year contract.
The fact that they listed Tiki Wiki and had the guarantee were primary reasons I went with them without checking other hosting options. However, the performance was SO BAD that it was unbearable. I tried a lot of different things from gzip compression to caching to try and improve performance, but nothing helped.

After cancelling I switched to Beachcomber.net (top of this list) and am extremely happy with them. They have a lot of hosting options, 10x more tools, and 50x more scripts than Network Solutions, and performance is GREAT! Average access time is around 1 second and I'm very happy I made the switch.

Also:

FYI on the documentation side in French, there is a list of many more host providers.

Please add your host and your experience!

don't forget date, source and offer (a hosting can improve his offer)
