gollark: CNAME/A/AAAA records in their DNS panel.
gollark: Right now I don't think it offers significant *feature* improvements over mediawiki, but I have some neat ideas MW cannot practically do.
gollark: Don't use that. It makes them host HTTP for your domain and send 301 redirects to somewhere else.

gollark: It's good because it has cool features, not too much code, and a fairly nice UI.
