Exploring the Benefits and Drawbacks of Shared Hosting for Running Wikibase
It is not recommended to install Wikibase on shared hosting for a number of reasons.
Firstly, Wikibase is a resource-intensive application that requires a significant amount of server resources to run smoothly. Shared hosting environments typically have limited resources, and running an application like Wikibase on such a hosting plan can result in slow loading times, frequent downtime, and other performance issues.
Secondly, Wikibase requires a number of software dependencies and configurations that may not be available on shared hosting plans. In order to properly install and configure Wikibase, you will need full control over the server, which is not typically provided in a shared hosting environment.
Finally, Wikibase is a complex application that requires regular maintenance and updates to stay secure and perform optimally. In a shared hosting environment, you may not have the ability to install necessary updates or make necessary configuration changes, which can leave your installation vulnerable to security threats and other issues.
If you want to run Wikibase, it is recommended to use a virtual private server (VPS) or dedicated server, which will provide you with the necessary resources and control to properly install and maintain the application.
