Wikidot review
A flexible hosted wiki for communities that need permissions, forums, and multiple sites.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Wikidot is hosted wiki software for publishing websites, documentation, portals, community sites, and collaborative workspaces. It suits communities, businesses, and professional website operators that need more than page editing: memberships, roles, granular content permissions, forums, custom domains, CSS-based themes, backups, and page history are all part of the product’s scope. A free account supports five sites, 5 x 300 MB storage, unlimited pages, unlimited revisions per page, custom domain mapping, and advanced membership controls.
Its strongest fit is a community or publishing environment with several sites and detailed access rules. Wikidot supports tags, categories, navigation tools, file backups, and forums for each site, while Google Analytics and Gravatar provide two listed integration options. The XML-RPC API adds a route for managing wiki content programmatically. Higher account levels add storage, more sites, private-site capacity, built-in web traffic analysis, SSL secure access, priority email support, or unlimited private-site membership. The Community Site option expands this model with practically unlimited resources, unlimited storage and traffic, unlimited members, and direct Wikidot Team support.
The main buying consideration is how closely the account tier matches the community’s access and scale requirements. Pro Lite allows private sites with up to 10 members, while Pro allows up to 20; Pro Plus removes the private-site membership limit and adds SSL and priority email support. Additional slots add one site and 5 GB storage per slot. Wikidot is a strong choice for organizations that value flexible permissions and a broad wiki toolkit. It is less suitable for teams seeking a simple, narrowly focused documentation tool or a plan whose capabilities remain uniform across all tiers.
