• Breadcrumbs on each page allow performing internal relinking pages for increasing Page Rank.

Multisiting

Unlike competitors HostCMS gives the opportunity to create different sites controlled by one copy of the system. You can save considerable funds during development of multisiting for one customer, buying one license of HostCMS.

HostCMS should be installed in one directory on the server and work with the one database. All the domains supported by the CMS should refer to this directory (to be aliases). Backend is a common one for these sites.

Corporation, Business and Small Business editions are multi-sited ones.

Caching and data compression systems reduce server loading, page generation time and user traffic speeding up page-in.

The new system of mirroring of seldom-changed content to static html files allows serving thousands of queries per second.

Open source and Modern technologies

HostCMS is delivered with an open source code and works with PHP 5.3.x — 5.6.x, 7.0.x — 7.2.x. We use new solutions such as ORM (ActiveRecord), QueryBuilder, MVC, and a flexible event system.

System requirements

The strong point of HostCMS is that the content management system does not require specialized hosting or dedicated servers. The system demonstrates excellent working results on shared hosting.

Separation of presentation and content

HostCMS is based on XML/XSLT technologies, also we support Smarty templates. Thanks to separation of structured data (XML) and their external presentation (XSL-templates) the system gives flexible opportunities of integration. The same data can be treated by different templates in different cases and have various external presentation.

Checking correctness of the entered data

The renewed system interface checks correctness of data during data entry and informs about the necessity to correct in case of an error and prohibits data insertion.
