Self-hosted Content Management Systems (CMS)

CMS is a no-code solution for those who want to create websites fast without coding.

CMS can be hosted by another company or by you.

Examples of other companies that host CMS for you.

  • Wix
  • Weebly
  • Squarespace
  • Payhip

Self-hosted CMS

When CMS requires you to buy web hosting and a domain name it is called self-hosted.

Examples of self-hosted CMS solutions

  • Joomla
  • Drupal

All of these are open-source platforms and don’t cost anything.

Your self-hosted content management system gives you control from design to content and monetization.

To install CMS you will need to have domain name and web hosting.

Most web hosting companies have popular CMS systems available for installation in a few clicks of a button. Some of them you can download online.

WordPress

WordPress is the most used CMS for all websites built online. It is updated regularly.

I recommend WordPress if you decide to go the self-hosting route.
