Looking for a personal wiki

My project is moving along steadily and I keep adding to my documentation which is slowly growing and growing. I'm needing a good way to keep everything sorted. I was using Microsoft OneNote and synchronizing it through Dropbox, but that's not really working as well as I'd hoped it would.

I am considering setting up a personal wiki that I can access from any browser, but setting it to where only I can access it for now. Anyone have one they'd recommend?

I looked through several on Google and some don't take new users any more, others don't work with Chrome for some reason. The simpler the better, but I want to be able to document player stat descriptions, world locations, NPCs, database table structures, etc. as I'm developing this project so I can keep it all straight.

I just want something accessible from anywhere - I don't have a web host at this time, but if need be I can get one (I will have to eventually anyway)

If your looking for a simple PHP/MySQL Wiki, I use MediaWiki which is easy to install and comes with most CPanel hosting sites. I use it on two site I maintain.

If your looking for a project management tool, then I recommend Trello.com which is great for team management and development. Its very easy to use and you don't have to host anything. It works much like a card filing systems where you assign cards to members with task lists and other things.

I noticed on your logo image for the wiki that you misspelled Planetary as Planetarty.
