Free Wiki hosting by Wikia
Due Credit:
Wikia, Openserving
Are you a wiki developer? or intended to develop wiki in future, well i have a good news for you if you are. Wikia the company which motto is -free content for all- launched OpenServing today, a service that is giving away complete Web hosting support to any wiki developer - for free!
OpenServing allows anyone to setup and maintain their own collaborative site. Rumors going around that OpenServing is also intended to go beyond wiki hosting to include free software, free applications, etc. Wikia will provide free software, bandwidth, storage, computing power, and content over the Internet. What is more, Wikia will give away 100 percent of the ad inventory and revenue to any blogger/Web site owner who wants to sign-up for this. The only stipulation is that developers link to Wikia`s home site in order to drive ad revenue.
The founder of wikia Jimmy Wales says -The main thing we are looking for is that they drive traffic back to Wikia but we are not just thinking of any link back to the home page, but a content-relevant link,-- he also added --We are not just asking for an advertisement but a link for articles and things that are relevant on our wikis.
Not only that the operator will have complete control over earned third party ad revenue. If sites that use OpenService sell ads on their wiki, they are not responsible to share that revenue with Wikia.
This announcement solves at least some of the mystery behind Wikia`s purchase of ArmchairGM earlier this month. ArmchairGM is the first freely-licensed software package that OpenServing will offer up. It is also noteworthy that Wikia received an undisclosed amount of funding from Amazon just weeks ago, which is likely an important contributing factor to Wikia`s ability to do this.
