Wikipedia and its fellow sites are hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in the United States. Sites like Google or Yahoo are hosted on thousands of servers, with thousands of employees; we have around 800 servers and around 350 staff, and cover our costs through donations—almost all from members of the public.
