I see Ghost has a paid option but I am unaware of such an option for Mediawiki.

I’m not asking for me. I’m asking if I want to share these resources to my coworkers who want to host websites and wikis for academia.

For academia I recommend having an IT cost center responsible for the hosting infrastructure, namely virtualization. Then let people have VPSes (or similar) as needed to run docker-based services. This makes it easier to handle network and security concerns. Most large universities already offer something like this to students and faculty.
