![Page 9: The “How” of Wikis Starr Hoffman Librarian for Digital Collections University of North Texas Libraries Five Weeks to a Social Library: 03.01.2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56649f355503460f94c53706/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hosting Locally
+ more control/customization of wiki - may have system requirements
- (Apache, MySQL) - will likely require some software installation
experience - may require some programming experience
- (PHP, Java) some popular choices: MediaWiki
![Page 10: The “How” of Wikis Starr Hoffman Librarian for Digital Collections University of North Texas Libraries Five Weeks to a Social Library: 03.01.2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56649f355503460f94c53706/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hosting Remotely
+ no software experience needed + very quick set-up - less control over wiki - usually charged a fee for this service some popular choices: PBwiki
