What is Joomla

Not nearly as popular but arguably just as powerful as WordPress, Joomla comes with its own strengths and advantages.

What Is Joomla?
Joomla is the only of these three “content management systems” that is actually a CMS. To be clear, a CMS is a software application that is used for creating and managing all digital content — photos, videos, text, galleries, widgets, social apps — you name it. The platform’s beauty is in its complexity, making it frustrating for beginners and friendly to the dev community.
What’s It Best For?
Unlike WordPress, Joomla is neither for beginners nor bloggers. If you just want to throw a few pages up on the web, Joomla is not for you.
Joomla is ideal for corporate sites, non-profits, and member-based organizations, as well as larger educational institutions or churches. As stated above, developers often work with Joomla for building dynamic web projects.

How to Get Started
Joomla is no different than WordPress in that you need a host to get started with it. The best hosts help you out by making 1-click installs of the Joomla software available right from your control panel.
οnce you’re up and running with your new Joomla site, you’ll see that many of our favorite hosts offer you free marketing credits and SEO tools to help you boost your brand’s visibility on the web

Joomla Performance

Like WordPress, there is plenty you can do to enhance performance with Joomla. Once you get your beautiful site designed, you’ve written some awesome content, and you’ve published for the world to consume, you should check out Joomla’s extensions.
The site boasts a bevy of tools to extend your site’s functionality, including guides and tutorials for keeping the Joomla Core and plugins up to date. As is the case with WordPress or Drupal, an important key to keeping a Joomla site running at peak performance is ensuring your software is actively well maintained.

Hosting24 Review

Hosting24 was founded in 2004 in the beautiful Larnaca, Cyprus. Because… taxes? Also, beaches. Similar to many other web hosts, their website is chock-full of hyperbolic language, including 99.9% uptime guarantees and ‘automatic backups’ (which we’ll debunk in a minute). Let’s see how they measure up. We set up a WordPress website on their cheapest shared hosting plan back in June of 2015. Since then, we’ve been closely monitoring uptime and speed , in addition to testing their customer support and performing background checks to compile our results in an unbiased, honest review. Keep reading to find out what we found. Hosting24 has pretty good customer support. They also throw in a few other nice-to-have (but not essential) things. That’s about it.
