IX Web Hosting WordPress Hosting Review
WordPress is “state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability”. Both great blog software and cms script with many extensions at the same time. It is free open source software powered by PHP and MySQL, licensed under the GPL license, meaning you can use it for your personal or commercial websites. WordPress was created by Matt Mullenweg in 2003.
Key features:
* Posts and Static Pages, Link List, Categories, tags, Media, Comments
* Templating system allowing you to use themes that separate design from programming code (there are thousands of wordpress themes available on the internet, both free and paid)
* Cross-blog communication tools – trackbacks and pings
* Users, authors, new registration with different and configurable permissions
* Extension systems (wordpress plugins allowing you to extend the functionality of wordpress and create more complex websites, there are thousands of pluings available with many features) I recommend wp-super-cache and akismet both are very useful.
and many many more features. Millions of people around the world are using wordpress as their personal blog publishing tool.
IXWebHosting WordPress review
This site uses currently uses wordpress. It runs great and without any problems on IX Web Hosting. I installed wordpress manually (an old habit), but there is a tool in ixwebhosting control panel called easyapps manager – one-click installer for many popular scripts (joomla, drupal, galleries, phpbb) including wordpress. So if you are not tech savvy you can use this tool to install wordpress. Happy Blogging.
