Yes, it seems to be functioning normally now.  The next time I see a 5xx
type error I'll know not to try to debug it. ;-0

If the wiki is generally fast enough I wouldn't change anything.  My
opinion was formed last night after one long session with it when it was
clearly struggling.  If that is not the normal experience then consider
doing nothing.

If that is the normal experience, well, for a primary source of
documentation that's not a great experience.  Given that "wiki.freedos.org"
is a subdomain of "freedos.org" you could create additional DNS records
that point just the "wiki" part to a new host, without changing anything
else.  The steps would look more like:

   - Pick a new wiki provider (Dreamhost)
   - Configure and test *before* freezing or moving DNS records using an
   entry in your local hosts file.
   - Freeze and move content to the new host.
   - Update the DNS records to point at the new host.
   - Decommission the old wiki.

That lets you keep the "wiki.freedos.org" name.

Looking at the current DNS records:

wiki.freedos.org:

   - CNAME is vhost.sourceforge.net
   - A record is 216.105.38.10 (Sourceforge.net)

freedos.org:

   - A record is 173.236.175.214 (Dreamhost)


So just changing the A record for wiki.freedos.org to point at a new host
(when it is ready) should do the trick.
