HIGH-PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS
What Is DokuWiki?
DokuWiki is an open-source wiki platform created in 2004. Unlike WordPress or MediaWiki, it doesn't need a MySQL database to run. It saves all your content as plain text files on your server, which keeps things simple, fast, and easy to back up.
Here’s how DokuWiki is different:
No database required. All content is stored as plain text files. That means simpler backups, easier migration, and fewer things to go wrong.
Built-in access controls. DokuWiki's Access Control List (ACL) system lets you decide exactly who can read, edit, or manage each section of your wiki.
1,000+ community plugins. Extend your wiki with plugins for diagrams, PDF export, WYSIWYG editing, calendars, and more.
Powerful DokuWiki Hosting
If for any reason you’re not satisfied with our services, you can cancel at any time in the first 30 days of signup to receive a full refund for the service.
Domain fees are non-refundable.

What is DokuWiki?
DokuWiki is a free, open-source wiki platform designed for creating and managing documentation, knowledge bases, and collaborative content. It stores everything as plain text files on your server, so no database is needed to run it.
Does DokuWiki need a database?
No. Unlike WordPress or MediaWiki, DokuWiki doesn't use MySQL or any other database. It saves all content as plain text files, which makes setup simpler, backups easier, and migration straightforward.
How do I install DokuWiki on HostPapa?
Log in to your cPanel, open Softaculous, search for DokuWiki, and click install. Add your site name and admin credentials, and Softaculous does the rest. The whole process takes under 5 minutes.
What are the server requirements for DokuWiki?
DokuWiki requires PHP 7.4 or higher. PHP 8 is recommended. It works on any standard web server (Apache, Nginx, or LiteSpeed) and doesn't need a database. All HostPapa plans include support for PHP 8.x.
Can I migrate my existing DokuWiki site to HostPapa?
Yes. HostPapa's migration team will move your DokuWiki files, configuration, and data to our servers for free. Your wiki stays live during the move, and we test everything before we go live.
What plugins are available for DokuWiki?
DokuWiki has over 1,000 community-contributed plugins. Popular options include diagram creation, PDF export, WYSIWYG editing, calendar integration, access control extensions, and AI-Powered chatbot functionality for your wiki. You can browse and install plugins directly from DokuWiki's built-in Extension Manager.
Is DokuWiki good for a corporate knowledge base?
Yes. DokuWiki's built-in Access Control List (ACL) system lets you set precise read and edit permissions for every page and namespace in your wiki. You can keep some sections open to your whole team and restrict others to specific users or groups, making it a solid choice for internal documentation.
How do I control who can read or edit my DokuWiki wiki?
DokuWiki has a built-in Access Control List (ACL) manager, accessible from the admin screen. You can assign seven levels of permission, from read-only to full admin access, to individual users or groups on a per-page or per-namespace basis.
What is the difference between DokuWiki and WordPress?
WordPress is a content management system built for websites, blogs, and eCommerce. It requires a MySQL database and is optimized for content publishing. DokuWiki is purpose-built for wikis and documentation. It uses no database, stores content as plain text, and is designed for collaborative editing, version tracking, and team knowledge management.
