About Joomla
Joomla is a self-hosted content management system that has been around since 2005. It runs on PHP and can use MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite as its database backend. You get a built-in user manager with granular access controls, a media manager that handles images and documents, and a system for creating custom content types. The template system lets you override layouts at the module or component level without touching core files. Joomla ships with a basic SEO system that handles metadata, URL rewriting, and sitemap generation. For multilingual sites, you can install language packs and assign content to specific languages through the same interface. The extension directory has over 6,000 plugins, modules, and components for things like e-commerce, forums, and event calendars. Joomla is maintained by the Open Source Matters nonprofit and receives regular security updates. It works on shared hosting, VPS, or dedicated servers and has a large community producing tutorials and third-party documentation.
