The ideal environment for hosting Joomla built web sites
Joomla hosting is the ideal platform for hosting Joomla, a Content Management System (CMS), which enables you to build web sites and powerful online applications. CMS systems like Joomla help you keep track of every item of content on your web site which can include text, photos, music, video or documents.
Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla one of the most popular choices in web site software today. Joomla is an open source program, which means its code is made available for use or modification by users and developers.
