You can literally in a few minutes already write your first articles.
Flexibility
You don't need to overpay for too much. Start with a basic hosting plan for MediaWiki, and then increase resources as your project grows.
Performance
Servers on NVMe disks, with modern architecture, everything flies.
Safety

What's "under the hood" of hosting MediaWiki on SSDs

Wikipedia is by no means the only user of the platform. MediaWiki is used by such projects as Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Fandom, as well as by many universities, government agencies and IT companies. The system is written in PHP, uses MySQL or PostgreSQL and is optimized to handle millions of pages.
NVMe SSD - high read and write speeds
Full root access - do whatever you want with the MediaWiki installation server
Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and others - take your pick
ISPmanager, cPanel, VestaCP, Hestia - whatever you like
Automatic backups, just in case
Increase server resources in a couple of clicks
