Joomla or cutenews?

[Hushie]

I'm wondering which one would be better to set a fansite up with.

Also would I need special hosting for these? Or will they work on any host.

Cutenews and any host will do it.

Lol good its just because when searching google before I got someone selling cutenews hosting so I was a bit worried.

Joomla is a CMS (Content Managment System)

Cutenews is a NMS (News Managment System)


Joomla handles it all really.

Cutenews is much easier to set up and use for newer users. Joomla is more powerful though but requires a bit more knowledge when installing/using.

Cutenews stores its data in files instead of a mysql db (unlike joomla).

Yeah I know, one of the reasons I was thinking about cutenews is the fact it doesnt use mysql

Cutenews is better in my opinion, everything loads faster, you dont need much knoledge and its all stored in flat files.

EDIT: if you do use cutenews, remove the search.php file because there is an exploit.

There's a fix for it on cutephp.org/forum or board...

There's a MySQL version too apparently, I have not seen it though.
