Installation of MediaWikis requires the user to have administrator authorization on a server operating PHP and a compatible type of SQL database. Some users find virtual host settings to be useful if the majority of the site runs under a framework (e.g. Zope or Ruby on Rails) that is to a certain degree incompatible with MediaWiki. Cloud hosting can eliminate the need to set up a new server.
