I use Dokuwiki on my desktop computer to keep a story bible. It works great for that, and there’s a zillion extensions to make it easy to customize. I’ve used it on and off for years, long before I discovered Markdown, so I don’t chafe at its markup.

My only beef with it is that it seems difficult to lock it down to its own satisfaction… so I haven’t really considered opening a router port to make it accessible outside the LAN (or set it up on a virtual server on AWS, which seems like overkill IMO). If the remote hosting site has it set up already, that sounds like the way to go.
