Hi,

I have an account with hostGator and they offer several CMS programs, is there a specific one that is much better then the others?

thanks!

Here's a list of what they offer:
Drupal
Geeklog
Joomla 1.5
Joomla
Mambo Open Source
PHP-Nuke
phpWCMS
phpWebSite
Post-Nuke
Siteframe
TYPO3
Xoops

I'm leaning to php-nuke or xoops.

I'll second the Joomla suggestion. Lots of templates, tutorials, big user community.

Not as SEO friendly as Drupal, but for your application that's not a big deal.

Aye, Joomla is by far the most flexible platform. A lot of people like wordpress but honestly Joomla can be used to create everything from a powerful SEO optimized blog, ecommerce store, resource directory, article directory, community website, membership website. The list is endless...

I have found that it is excellent for SEO for most of my projects.

I use a combination of a CSS optimized template. sh404 component (SEF urls and meta management) and the JoomlaAtWork.com SEF Patch.

I think that makes a very powerful SEO package. Combine that with the caching and sql caching it is pretty slick.

Drupal: One of the best (if not the best), but learning curve is hard. Mostly because of their naming convention for categories and articles.
Geeklog: Never tried it.
Joomla 1.5: Recommended. This is the CMS I exclusively use besides Wordpress.
Joomla: Same as above just older. You'll find more plugins, but you'll need to upgrade eventually. And upgrading is not easy. Go with 1.5
Mambo Open Source: This is where Joomla started before being bought by a company. After they branched off, I never looked back.
PHP-Nuke: I've always considered it for gamers more than anything else.
phpWCMS: Never tried it.
phpWebSite: Slow and clunky. Cluuuunky.
Post-Nuke: See PHPNuke. Same concept. Too portalish.
Siteframe: Never tried it.
TYPO3: Stay away. Powerful...but huge learning curve will leave a bad taste in your mouth about CMSs.
Xoops: Good, but I never really delved too deep into it.

My recommendation: Joomla 1.5. If you must go with 1.0, be sure to check out the upgrade path because you're the one that'll be doing it.

Actually there is no best. The most important thing up front is to define as clearly as possible what are the requirements.

That being said I have installed and used Word Press, Nucleus, Geeklog and Drupal on production sites and have also installed and trialled PHP Nuke and several forks, PHP WebSite, Mambo/Joomla and Xoops.

For my needs, Drupal is the winner. Here are some useful articles and threads comparing Joomla and Drupal.

Joomla! • View topic - Drupal Vs Joomla (where Joomla Fails and Major Drawbacks: A discussion )
Why can't we be friends? Joomla versus Drupal | Communicopia
Joomla and Drupal - Which One is Right for You? - Alledia
(some points are out of date as Drupal is now at version 6.4)
Drupal vs Joomla | drupal.org
Drupal vs Joomla: performance | Dries Buytaert

Remember, it primarily depends on what you need the software to do. That needs to be clarified first. The clearer the better.

Cheers,

Noel
