Alternatives to Wordpress

If you have been involved in the world of computers and hosting for any length of time, then you are probably familiar with WordPress.It is the most widely used content management system available.

One of the reasons why it is so popular is that it is free and easy to use.However, there are also alternatives that you can use, we will go through some of these systems in this blog post.Based on this you can then make a choice for the CMS that suits you.

Umbraco

A system that we at MijnHostingPartner are big fans of is Umbraco, however this is a completely different system than WordPress.The biggest difference between Umbraco and WordPress is that Umbraco runs on a different language than WordPress.

WordPress runs on PHP and Umbraco uses Microsoft's .NET technology. This makes it an ideal system for large applications, so if you have a large webshop this is a good solution.

With Umbraco you have the possibility to use 2 different databases namely a MySQL database and a MSSQL database.For Umbraco we almost always recommend using ASP.NET Core hosting.

CraftCMS

An alternative to WordPress hosting is the system called CraftCMS.This is a system that came out as the best for small or medium sized businesses, so for a startup business this is ideal.

Besides the fact that Craft is suitable for businesses it is also very fast.The speed is very important for your website because you are also judged by Google for this.

Speed is also important for the visitors of your website, if your site is not fast enough then visitors will look for an alternative.Visitors decide within 10 seconds whether they stay on the website or go elsewhere.

Drupal

Another alternative to WordPress is Drupal, this is a system that is mainly used by large companies.This is mainly due to the fact that it is a very extensive system.

For large companies it offers many possibilities so it works very well for them.If you want to use Drupal we recommend SSD hosting, so you have a Drupal website that is extra fast.
