What it does
What Geeklog is good at
Geeklog is an open source PHP content management system for publishing articles and building community oriented websites. It includes user management, content publishing and an extensible plugin architecture.
Geeklog hosting
Geeklog is a classic web portal in the best possible nerdy sense
Before every website became a ‘content experience platform,’ there were portals: news, articles, users, comments, links, plugins and a homepage that actually showed people useful things. Geeklog comes from that lineage. It is a mature open source CMS for publishers and communities that like a traditional, structured site rather than a page builder carnival.

Who it suits
The people Geeklog can still serve well
Geeklog can still serve community and enthusiast sites with articles and registered users, publishers who prefer a traditional portal style CMS, and site owners maintaining an existing Geeklog project.
Why it works
Why Geeklog still has a place
Classic content structure.
News, stories and community features fit naturally into the platform’s portal style approach.
User aware publishing.
Accounts and permissions make it more than a pile of static pages.
Extend when needed.
Plugins let the base CMS grow without turning every feature into custom code.
Practical details
A few sensible precautions
Because Geeklog is a long running PHP application, version compatibility matters. Use the most current supported release available for your environment and check its PHP/database requirements before deploying. Keep plugins current, remove abandoned components, use HTTPS and secure admin accounts, and maintain tested backups before upgrades.
Pick the room you need
Compare current shared plans for Geeklog.
These cards keep current shared hosting prices in one data driven place. Confirm Geeklog requirements and the expected workload before choosing. Resource intensive applications may need VPS, semi dedicated or dedicated hosting.

Bring it online
Bring the community site back to life
If ‘classic community portal’ sounds comforting rather than retro, Geeklog may fit exactly the site you have in mind. Fast Web Builder can provide the hosting and domain while the CMS handles publishing and members.
Community sites live or die by habit. A short, stable domain makes it easier for members to come back without searching for you every single time.
