What is the easiest way for a non-techie to use/host sites like Ghost and Mediawiki?
I see Ghost has a paid option but I am unaware of such an option for Mediawiki.
Is this to be exposed to the Internet?
If so, I'd probably look at a ready made pod service like pikapods
I've never used them, but my hunch is that you'll have an easier time using something like this to circumvent the need for physical hardware, networking experience, etc
Otherwise I look forward to hearing other people's suggestions
Yes, thank you, that is a helpful suggestion. I wonder what the difference is between a service that hosts “premade” services versus a simple VPS?
