WordPress

WordPress powers 31% of the Internet.

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. WordPress is the most popular website management system. It is used by more than 60 million websites, including 30.6% of the top 10 million websites.

Features include a plugin architecture and a template system. It is most associated with blogging, but supports other types of web content including more traditional mailing lists and forums, media galleries, and online stores.

WordPress has to be installed on a web server, either part of an Internet hosting service like WordPress.com or a computer running the software package WordPress.org in order to serve as a network host in its own right. A local computer may be used for single-user testing and learning purposes.
