I am a member of a research group at the University of Maryland in the Physics department
(iontrap.umd.edu). We currently run our own XWiki server for our lab. We have about 20
users who use the wiki daily from recording experimental logs to writing how-to articles
about lab equipment or techniques. We would like to migrate to a wiki hosted by
professionals, so that the uptime will be greater and so that we will not have to hassle
with the occasional problems associated with running our own server.
It would be especially nice if we could import our current XWiki data to the new one. Is
that possible using the standard import/export tool? Also, what kind of typical uptimes do
you have? Is it possible that you would erase all of our data without warning, or would be
be given a reasonable amount of time to back up our site if it needed to be closed for
whatever reason?

As indicated on http://myxwiki.org the farm is actually a community
driven farm often upgraded with cutting edge versions of XWiki.
If you really need professional hosting you should take a look at
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support.

Yep that's possible of course, the limitation is that your are not
going to have programming right so if you are using groovy or some
protected API you will probably have to rewrite some stuff.

without warning, or would be be given a reasonable amount of time to back up our site if

The whole farm is backuped every night and no we are not going to
erase any data without warning ;)

Hi Andrew,
See http://myxwiki.org for more details.
Some extracts:
"…
• No support warranty. All support is done on the XWiki user mailing list by the
community.
• No stability warranty. We install the latest milestone version of XWiki Enterprise
Manager on this farm and we use it as a stability test for the XWiki development team.
• No uptime warranty. It’s possible the farm will be down a few days in a row although
we’ll do the maximum so that it doesn’t happen.
"
And:
"
The farm is open to individuals and non-profit organizations to create wikis on. However
the target users are mostly technical people who can support themselves to some extent.
This farm should never be used for critical wikis.
"
Thanks
-Vincent
