6 Best Self Hosted Blog Platforms As WordPress Alternatives For Blogging
WordPress is by far the the most popular blog platform. But being the the most popular one so nowways lot of hackers are targeting WP blogs & you need to upgradeand fix it quite often. so I was looking for easy & secure blog platform which can be hosted on own server for business & blogging needs.
These are some alternatives to wordpress which are easy to install,more stable & are also SEO friendly.
# MovableType : One of the most popular blog platforms since date. It has been bigger than WordPress a few years ago but as it is not Open Source & you need to pay so it lost market share. But now MovableType has open sourced and it is easy to install. It certainly is more secure and has less upgrades to be performed.
# Drupal : Drupal is more than a blog platform but you can set a blog with it with ease & it is quite SEO friendly.
# B2Evolution : This blog platform has been around for ages but never got really popular. It may be name or the lack of character, B2Evolution even attempts to mimic WordPress looks by using the Kubrick theme, but this might be as well an advantage. anyways, just the fact that it’s around as well as “alive and kicking” for a such long time makes it a viable alternative.
# Textpattern : Back when I started blogging it was an easy decision, WordPress o Textpattern. It was a choice like PC vs Mac, the more design oriented bloggers have chosen Textpattern. The community seems a little dormant by now but Textpattern is still a good choice it seems to me. Also there seem to be quite a lot of plugins for SEO.
# Mephisto : It is a comparably unknown blog platform but if you look at the code, screenshots and and WordPress-like URLs it looks very promising. But due to lack of funding and only two developers working on it Mephisto is still stuck at Version 0.8
# Typo : In version 5.1 Typo introduced many of the features we’re accustomed to from WordPress or MovableType. Like Mephisto the URL structure follows WordPress defaults and the markup looks great.
But still inspite ot having all this other options people tend to blog on wordpress for its great list of plugins or themes. But if you want a more secure blog with lesser hacking attacks these options can be tried .
