There is a wide range of user-friendly applications, which you can use to setup a website without having almost no technical skills, many of them are available at FreeHostia for you to install with our 1-click installer. One of my favorite ones and also one of the most popular content management systems today is Joomla.

Joomla is a PHP open-source content management system. It is a free open-source product, which can be used by anyone – it is easy to setup and manage even by beginners. Some of the key features, which make Joomla one of the best content management and probably the most popular one nowadays are:

It is free

Joomla is free, it is available to anyone under the GPL license.

Open-source

You can use Joomla as it is or you can modify it to suit specific needs. You can view and edit the code of this wonderful CMS and make your own modifications or apply MODs and add-ons created by others.

Powerful

Even with the basic Joomla installation you get a fully featured content management solution for your web site. In addition there are many add-ons, templates and modifications developed by other Joomla users and enthusiasts.

Large community

Joomla is very popular and has a large community. On Joomla’s community forum you can get answers to your questions and get help from other Joomla users.

Variety of designs (templates)

Joomla is installed through a user-friendly web interface. FreeHostia has made it even easier by providing a 1-click install directly from our web hosting control panel.
