Idea: Service for pre installed CMS/Blog/Forum/Q&A

2 replies
Hi,

there are always people who would like to have CMS, blog, forum or Q&A sites but don't want to struggle with hosting and updates.

What about a website where you can have all major free CMS-, blog-, forum-, etc. systems. Just choose want you want e.g. "wordpress" and the website will install a new instance of wordpress for you with an admin account. Now you can start with your blog.
Or create a new instance of phpbb or joomla.

The service itself would install security updates to all installations automatically.

Do you think this is a good idea and worth to try? Maybe such a service already exists?

I am open to all criticsm.

    Many of them, I think. Monetized in various different ways.

    WordPress Engine, for WordPress blogs (though that's a very expensive, "all-singing, all-dancing" one - but there are many other "dedicated WordPress hosts" with various different levels of services available and included, too).

    There are many hosts for ready-installed phpBB forums, too. Some monetised on a subscription basis and some "free" (i.e. monetized only by advertising). My guess is that many phpBB users are attracted by its being free.

    And I don't really know what "Joomla" is.
