HostMonster Review

Joomla! is CMS (content management system) one of the most popular CMSs in the world, PHP script that allows you to dinamically add content (text, images and other media, static pages, blog posts) with an easy admin interface. But joomla is much more than that, it is web portal with many features including:

* User Management (create, edit users, setup permissions, roles, groups etc.)
* Media Manager (for managing media files, folders, mime types)
* Language Manager (Joomla is available in many languages with UTF-8 encoding)
* Banner Management (management of banners, hits, client profiles, impressions etc)
* Contact Management
* Polls
* Search
* Syndication (RSS) and News Management
* Template management (there are thousands of free and professional templates)
* Extension system (there are many modules available for Joomla, allowing you to create complex websites with many features)

Joomla requires PHP (the web scripting language) and at least a database like MySQL in order to be installed. Hostmonster supports both php and mysql, so running Joomla would not be problem at all. If you want to further customize settings you can do this via .htaccess or via php.ini. You can install Joomla with Fantastico one-click installer or manually.
