The service presently runs on a Debian Linux server hosted as a XEN virtual machine. The setup of the server is documented here.

The minimal present cost for a service sponsor in picking up the server, avoiding a reconfiguration of the entire server, would be to provide one XEN host, restore the virtual machine to it, reconfigure network interfaces and DNS entries and restart the service. If no XEN host is already available, this requires about one working day for the reconfiguration

Current biowikifarm server hardware is documented here. The minimum current hardware use is presently lower, amounting only to 2 processors and 200 GB Harddisk. If the service is very successfully it might require multiple servers, separating database, apache/php, and one or several proxy cache servers. Some service providers may therefore limit their commitment to a specified amount of resources; see Ownership and sponsors for further information.
