Wikispaces was a wiki hosting service based in San Francisco, California. Launched by Tangient LLC in March 2005, Wikispaces was purchased by Tes Global (formerly TSL Education) in March 2014.[1] It competed with PBworks, Wetpaint, Wikia, and Google Sites (formerly JotSpot).[2] It was among the largest wiki hosts.[citation needed]
In September 2014, Tes announced that free hosting of non-educational wikis would cease. These wikis faced a 14 November 2014 shutdown deadline. Only wikis used exclusively in K–12 or higher education remain free.[3]
Private wikis with advanced features for businesses, non-profits and educators are available for an annual fee. Wikispaces has also given away more than 100,000 premium wikis to K–12 educators.[4]
Since 2010 Wikispaces have cooperated with web 2.0 education platform Glogster EDU. Glogster EDU embeds Glogs into Wikispaces services.
Due to cost issues, classroom and free-level Wikispaces closed on July 31, 2018, while private Wikispaces closed on January 31, 2019.[5]
