WordPress is the most famous blogging platform. It is written in PHP and needs a MySQL database as a backend storage for all the content and settings. WordPress offers great power and flexibility thanks to an integrated themes and plugins store that make it extremely easy to use, customise and manage. No wonder WordPress became quickly the no.1 CMS software.

WordPress overview:
WordPress is a PHP Blogging platform that originated back in 2003. It was designed to be simple and easy to use by anyone and this probably led to its success.
It is important not to mistake the WordPress software itself, which is available to download freely from the website wordpress.org, with the commercial service WordPress.com, run by Automattic: the latter allows anyone to register a WordPress powered blog website however some features such as FTP access and Database access are not available.
This is an important aspect to consider if you want to have full control over your website, and if you plan to do extra customisation or even just if you plan to move it to a web hosting of your choice.
FTP access and MySQL Database access are available if you register your WordPress website on a fully fledged free hosting service such as ilbello.com.
Why choose WordPress?
Thanks to its focus on simplicity and ease of use WordPress has gained an unprecedented popularity and this enabled it to overcome its initial limitations as a platform designed for just blogging.
Today WordPress users benefit from a huge theme and extentions catalog that are just 1-click away from install, making WordPress the ideal CMS for any kind of website, including large corporate websites and even e-ecommerce stores.
Up-to-date and Safe:
Another huge benefit of WordPress lies in its 1-click update feature, so that everyone has the ability to enjoy the latest features of the WordPress platform (and its extensions and themes) without the need for delicate FTP operations. More than that, the WordPress core is designed to automatically download and apply security updates as they become available, just like it happens to our smartphones or everyday computers.
This functionality helps prevent security incidents that would require the hosting provider to block access to the website, and subsequent costly operations to fix sexurity issues and recover from backups.
