Nowadays, Wordpress is highly being used by internet users to create blogs more than Drupal & Joomla. What are you opinions about it? Which one is right for you Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla?

In all the Content Management Systems i like Wordpress the most as it is very much familiar to me, easy to develop and there are lots of themes and great plugins available for it. Joomla seems to be more complicated, very hard to understand how it works. I have noticed that people prefer Wordpress and Drupal much more than Joomla.

Thats very true

My vote goes for Wordpress, one click installation, easy to manage, excellent features, very SEO friendly, free themes and many useful features.........
Joomla and Drupal are usually used by webmaster who have good programming skills and want to have custom setup.

Agree with you Andy, Drupal CMS is generally used by the webmasters as it is an award winner CMS and used to create no. of sites which are powered by Discover channel. Also, it lets you to save the newer versions of your web pages every time you edit them so that you can change your old versions at any moment.

As compare to Joomla, drupal is more search engine friendly as the enhanced control over URL structure gives you the ability to customize the URLs which increases your chances of ranking better in search engines.

How about Joomla 1.5, because here your arguments are similar to version 1.0... ?

May be joomla is improved as per your comments, but still i think wordpress and drupal are better than joomla.

Depends on the Preference. If you are well aware of Wordpress and Drupal and you are comfortable with them, then you should surely choose them and if you think you are satisfied with the features which Joomla offers then it is better to stick with it. However, you can surely try another option as you may get used to it and you might like it if you start using it.

Well, I think Joomla, Drupal are good however I prefer WordPress for my blogs. It is easy to use and updates are available without any difficulties.

That's correct. Also, if you have cPanel control panel with Fantastico with your Web hosting package/server then it will be very easy for you to install Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress and this is one of the reasons it is suggested that you should have cPanel Fantastico with your Linux web hosting packages.

Is there any tool with Windows hosting packages which will allow us to install Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress easily ?

Macdale · #11 (**permalink**) 04-10-09, 19:34

Yes, of course there is a tool called Fantastico which is a great Web application typically based on cPanel and PHP. It provides you the ability to install many free scripts and applications within few seconds.

You can easily install scripts such as Forums, Blogs, CMS like Wordpres, Joomla & Drupal, e-commerce software, online polls and much more.

You can consider Plesk with Plesk power pack and you will be able to install Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress easily through Application Vault in Plesk Power pack for your Windows VPS or Windows Dedicated server. You can also contact the Windows VPS support department or Windows Dedicated server department at any point of time if you are facing some problems with the installation.

WordPress is best for creating blogs. Joomla is better for creating websites.

Joomla is a good CMS for creating websites but newbies may find it a little difficult as compared to Wordpress. Hence, for newbies, even Wordpress is fine to create websites.

Wordpress's theme and plugin is amazing, but when it come to 100k posts, wordpress is very slow.

so I am looking for a CMS can put a lot of posts (more than 100k) on it and still work smoothly.

Wordpress with cache plugin such as W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache may be one solution.

Drupal is good. And joomla is also good... And wordpress also.
It does not matter much to be honest but I do know that the really big white hat websites out there use drupal. That I can confirm.
Therefore i used all cms according to my need.

Thanks
