WordPress has been a dominant force in content management systems (CMS) for years. However, the recent drama between WordPress and WP Engine has caused some users to question the platform's stability.
Trademark Trouble: WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg believes WP Engine is misusing WordPress trademarks.
Resource Restriction: This disagreement led Mullenweg to block WP Engine's access to WordPress.org resources.
Website Woes: This has caused disruptions for websites relying on WP Engine for hosting.
While the situation is concerning, WordPress remains a popular CMS for now. However, if stability and security are top priorities, Umbraco might be a great fit.
With over 800,000 installations worldwide, Umbraco somehow remains one of the best-kept secrets in the CMS world. Umbraco is a free and open-source CMS that offers several advantages over WordPress, including:
Enhanced Security: Built with security in mind, Umbraco is less vulnerable than WordPress.
Effortless Scaling: Umbraco handles large and complex websites with ease.
Flexible Customization: Umbraco adapts to your specific business needs.
Seamless .NET Integration: For businesses using .NET applications, Umbraco integrates flawlessly.
