Netfirms Offers Joomla Tool
Web hosting provider Netfirms (netfirms.com) announced on Friday it has added the Joomla content management system to its suite of software tools.
Netfirms’ hosting customers will now be able to quickly install Joomla from the Web site control panel, which Netfirms says will help Web site developers spend less time installing and configuring the application, and more time creating Web sites. Netfirms says its clustered server technology is ideally suited to serving a database-intensive application such as Joomla.”The Netfirms core mandate is to provide Web site designers and managers with powerful yet easy-to-use tools that will help them succeed on the Web,” says Thomas Savundra, president of Netfirms. “Joomla advances this mission very well, allowing people to easily create and maintain active Web sites.”
Joomla is used by more than 40,000 people around the world to power Web sites. One of Joomla’s strengths lies in the application framework that makes it possible to create add-ons and extensions. Some of Joomla’s extensions include dynamic form builders, business directories, document management, forums and chat software, multimedia galleries and calendars.
