And one of the most important is choosing first your website hosting and then the content management system to build your website with.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a decision worth first learning more about. Each CMS presented in this article is worth it, they all have great features and advantages but each would be best depending on the site you are going to build. But let\u2019s first start with the basics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is CMS?<\/h2>\n<p>As you would already know, CMS stands for Content Management System, and as the name suggests it allows you to manage the content of your website. This includes text, images, media, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Using a CMS helps you create your site fast and much easier. It doesn\u2019t require any technical skills but if you want a complex website, you\u2019d want to consider learning a thing or two about the full capacity each system offers.<\/p>\n<p>For better convenience, we\u2019ve collected our <a href=\"\/cms-hosting-services\/\">CMS hosting<\/a> offers and you can see the full list of systems you can install with AwardSpace. Without further ado here are the top three website hosting solutions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>WordPress<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not a surprise that WordPress is the most used CMS worldwide. To get an idea of how broad it is, there are 1.1 million domains registered every 6 months! There are many reasons why it\u2019s the best choice for building a website starting with the vast number of pre-created themes with great design choices, plugins, and a lot more features.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41745 alignnone\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/wordpress-logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"177\" height=\"175\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These add-ons are perfect for building a well-designed website as they expand the opportunities with helpful tools. By getting <a href=\"\/wordpress-hosting\/\">WordPress hosting<\/a> everyone can create a personal blog, WooCommerce website, a business card website, portfolio, or another small or big project.<\/p>\n<p>And we\u2019re also going to leave that here \u2013 AwardSpace also offers <a href=\"\/free-wordpress-hosting\/\">Free WordPress hosting<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>However, if you are interested in creating a big online store maybe there are better solutions than WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Drupal<\/h2>\n<p>Drupal is an open-source focused on building large and complex websites. It\u2019s often not that recognized as WordPress but it actually has a large community of supporters. \u00a0People that want to build big websites with amazing performance \u2013 speed, uptime, and mostly security, can find their web solution with Drupal.<\/p>\n<p>By getting <a href=\"\/drupal-hosting\/\">Drupal Hosting<\/a> it\u2019s safe to say that the installation process is quick and effortless, but as the platform is created for complex websites, it is also important to know that the back and front end are not for everyone. You\u2019ll need coding skills and basic tech knowledge to build the best possible online space for your idea.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Joomla<\/h2>\n<p>This is also one of the most used open-source content management systems and its focus has always been usability and extensibility. It\u2019s important to think of it as similar to WordPress \u2013 it has a wide range of unique and useful extensions and templates that help anyone build a great website \u2013 fast and easily.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, one of the best perks of getting <a href=\"\/joomla-hosting\/\">Joomla Hosting<\/a> is the effortless way of working and the user-friendly interface that helps anyone learn fast and build in no time. Of course, as a free open-source you can also try the <a href=\"\/free-joomla-hosting\/\">Free Joomla Hosting<\/a> to make sure it suits you. It is utilized heavily for education, media, corporate, e-commerce, and even personal websites and blogs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What CMS Should You Choose?<\/h2>\n<p>After a quick overview of the basic CM systems you have to ask yourself one significant question \u2013 what am I going to build a website for. Are you starting a blog? Making a portfolio of your work? Creating a business card for your line of work? Or you are starting an online business? A school project, work-related matter, or a hobby \u2013 whatever it is, there is a solution to any preferences.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a beginner make sure to also read the full guide to <a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-make-a-website-from-scratch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">making a website from scratch<\/a> to help you in your process of building what could soon be an empire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting an online business or building a personal website both come with challenges and decisions to be made.
