Eighteen years ago, English developer Mike Little and American developer Matt Mullenweg introduced the revolutionary WordPress (WordPress.org). It is a content management system (CMS), open-sourced and free, written in the renowned scripting language known as PHP. Moreover, WordPress can be combined with either a MariaDB or MySQL database. This ground-breaking technology is the go-to CMS for bloggers worldwide. In 2021, according to W3Techs, 41.9% of all websites use WordPress as their CMS. Hence, WordPress holds the majority of 65% market share in the content management system.
The CMS tool needs to be installed on an internet hosting service like www.dev2host.com, etc., to function properly.
