Drupal<\/a><\/p>\nHistory<\/h2>\n
Drupal was created by Dries Buytaert in 2001 as an open-source project focused on flexibility and security. Over the years, it has become one of the most powerful and customizable CMS platforms used by universities, governments, and enterprises worldwide.<\/p>\n
Requirements<\/h2>\n
Drupal requires a web server such as Apache or Nginx, PHP 8+, and a database like MySQL or PostgreSQL. Many web hosts offer one-click Drupal installations through cPanel or similar tools.<\/p>\n
Hosted \/ Self-hosted<\/h2>\n
Drupal is primarily self-hosted, allowing developers full control over their site\u2019s functionality and environment. Managed Drupal hosting options are also available for easier setup and maintenance.<\/p>\n
Cost<\/h2>\n
The Drupal core software is completely free and open-source. However, costs may arise from hosting, premium modules, or professional development services.<\/p>\n
User Base<\/h2>\n
Drupal powers over one million sites globally and is especially popular among large organizations that require robust, scalable solutions with advanced content management and user permissions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
