Ever wondered what the most popular CMS was from a hosting companies point of view? A by-product of a security audit that we are working our way through at the moment on the shared hosting machines… we get an oversight into the commonly used third party applications for content management (Content Management Systems or CMS).

Now you may have a fairly good idea of what is out there, what gets used, and probably even heard the statistic about WordPress being being about 22% of new website deployments in 2015? Well – if there was any doubt as to what people are using… here is a little insight into what we are seeing as of August 2016 over both our Plesk Linux and cPanel shared hosting services*

WordPress 80.6%

Drupal 4.7%

Joomla 11%

phpBB 0.9%

PrestaShop 0.8%

OS Commerce 0.1%

I think that is pretty definitive!
