Last week we increased maximum size for uploaded files on all our free sites. Many users suggested that it would make a lot of sense to increase limits on the paid sites too. And we fully agree!

After solving a few technical difficulties, the maximum size of a single file that can be uploaded is:

Plan Was Is now
Free 5 MB 25 MB
Pro Lite 25 MB 50 MB
Pro 50 MB 100 MB
Pro Plus 50 MB 200 MB

As most of you know, Wikidot started as a "free wiki" service. For the first two years we were providing free websites for everybody who needed it without any charge. For those with greater demands and requirements we introduced Pro accounts in 2008. More sites, more storage, more features.

More than 60% of our total traffic come from free sites, vast majority of our users have free accounts. Although most of the top-active users pay for a premium account, all of them started with free ones, gradually discovering that it is worth to pay for it.

Free is important. Large part of our business depend on people getting free accounts and starting free sites. And it works pretty well for us — although it is quite expensive to keep a free version available, it definitely pays off in the long term.

Yesterday Wikidot team worked heavily on fixing bugs reported on Feedback Site. We fixed six bugs and solved few other internal issues with servers and infrastructure. Now there are only seven (non-critical) bugs left on the list.

We thought it could be a good idea to make Tuesday the day of fixing bugs. This would give us a stricter workflow and our users would know that most of the bugs are fixed on Tuesdays. This mainly applies to long-standing bugs and little annoyances we hate so much, as urgent bugs are fixed as soon as possible anyway.

Summer holidays are over and it's back-to-school time in most parts of the world. And school can be fun, especially when you use a powerful tool like Wikidot for your classes and projects!

During the last 12 months, we counted over 2,000 wikis used for managing classes and coordinating student projects. We received a lot of positive feedback and success stories in our mailboxes. Check out a video shared by Marco Battaglia (in Italian) about a "class 2.0" project and how they used Wikidot.

Wikidot has been successfully offering free educational upgrades for 2 years now, and we highly encourage teachers, lecturers, students and pupils to try them. Check out our Wikidot in Education page for more details, and follow the 3 easy steps to get your own site.
