A wiki farm is a host for many wiki's.  Sometimes they are commercial and
charge a fee.  An example is http://www.editme.com/.  I am looking for one
that hosts MediaWiki based Wikis.

I have a shared hosting website and have been unable to install MediaWiki on
it.  I probably could install it on a dedicated host, but that would cost
$200/mo.  Or I could buy a Linux based computer and use my DSL line.  This
would be slow, and I could not provide 24/7 support to make sure the system
stayed up.
