asked which CMS is most popular. Popularity changes over time and by metric (sites powered, new installs, enterprise use). Around 2006 Joomla and Mambo were frequently discussed; Mambo was the project that led to Joomla via a fork. Today a different picture emerges: WordPress is the dominant CMS while Joomla, Drupal, TYPO3 and DNN remain relevant for specific use cases (W3Techs CMS overview, background on Mambo/Joomla on Wikipedia).

As noticed, Joomla was widely recommended in the mid-2000s. As pointed out, early Joomla templates sometimes relied on table-based markup; modern Joomla releases use CSS-based, responsive templates — always check the demo/theme code before committing. To : truly free hosting usually comes with limits (storage, CPU, custom modules, scheduled tasks) so choose a CMS that fits those constraints or consider a static-site workflow.

Quick practical checklist for choosing between the options you listed:

  • Requirements: blog vs portal vs intranet vs ecommerce — match CMS to functionality and available extensions.
  • Hosting/stack: Windows/.NET favors DNN; Linux/PHP favors Joomla/Drupal/TYPO3.
  • Team skills: PHP vs .NET, and how steep a learning curve is acceptable.
  • Ecosystem & maintenance: active community, regular security updates, and available plugins/modules.
  • Performance & scalability: lightweight engines or caching layers for constrained hosts.

Next steps: pick 2 candidates that match stack and features, install locally (or on a throwaway host), test templates/extensions, and review update/security history before committing. For historical context on the Mambo->Joomla split, see Mambo (CMS) on Wikipedia.

I've tried Joomla, and it seems great... there're many extensions available that you can download. Except that I don't like the way Joomla uses sooooooo many tables in the template!

Drupal is also good. I think Drupal is great for those of you who want lighter CMS with great features/extensions.
