Joomla is a open source dynamic content management system which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone. Joomal comes with cpanel.
if you have a cpanel then you can easily install joomla for your website through fantastico (add on feature in Cpanel which use to install applications which comes with cpanel)

Joomla is a web content management system that can be used by non-technical people to frequently update their websites. It is an open source application. It is supported on both Linux and Windows. However it is easier to install Joomla in our Linux VPS. You can install it from fantastico, a feature included in cPanel, for free.
