Umbraco or WordPress
Umbraco or WordPress hosting?
As a website owner, there are numerous decisions you need to make. And one of these decisions is which CMS is best to use. The 2 most commonly used CMSs are Umbraco and WordPress - but which one is best for your hosting? On this page, you’ll learn what the benefits are for each of these two CMSs. Especially if you are a new website owner, it is very important that you install the right CMS. After all, it can be quite difficult to make an existing website switch CMS, but if you make the right choice right from the start, you will save yourself a lot of trouble later on.
Which CMS is the best choice in your situation?
In general, there are a few critical features that you should base your choice between Umbraco and WordPress on. Take a look at the following list and choose those features you think are most important for your site:
- Speed
- Security
- Ease of use
In addition, you should also think about what you plan to use your site for. A hobby site about tennis that you update once a week obviously has different requirements than your company's website with an interactive forum for your customers.
Benefits of WordPress
One of the things WordPress hosting excels at is its ease of use. Almost anyone who understands how to use the Internet to read their email can also create a website with WordPress. Some people still think that you have to have a web developer background before you can have a website. However, it is not necessary at all with WordPress.
WordPress is a CMS where you can easily download a theme that acts as a framework for your site. After that, all you have to do is write posts or pages - and WordPress takes care of the rest for you. However, this ease of use comes with a drawback: Although there are many different plug-ins for WordPress, it is not very customizable. There are also useless extras to WordPress, which can cause your website to be slower than if you were to use another CMS.
We recommend WordPress if you are a novice website builder - and especially our SSD package, to ensure that your site is still fast enough for all the visitors that come to your site.
Benefits of Umbraco
Umbraco, on the other hand, has many more features than WordPress. It is an open source CMS where you have total freedom to make your site what you want. It is also a lot more secure than WordPress. In addition, it is also faster because it runs on efficient code.
We recommend Umbraco if you are setting up a website for your business - or if you have a hobby website where you think it is important to have as many different features as possible with your website - and that it is fast and secure.
