By comparison, Drupal is very flexible and dynamic because of the modular system it uses. The diverse social publishing features make it suitable for larger blog projects, company websites or journalistic websites with multiple editors. This allows plenty of space for growth, as Drupal is well-equipped to handle any future challenges through its dynamically expandable system. Additionally, with Drupal you benefit from the knowledge of an ever-growing community – so, aside from our IONOS expert support, you can rely on the knowledge of a global community.

Flexible and secure Drupal web hosting for your projects

Content management with Drupal

Drupal is a free Content Management System (CMS) that is continuously improved and extended by a global community of developers and companies. A CMS allows you to manage and update content like texts, pictures, and applications independently from the website design. The Drupal CMS places particular emphasis on varied design possibilities for presenting the content. If you ensure your web hosting is Drupal compatible, you can create an individual design for your internet presence and other applications without any knowledge of CSS or HTML. Drupal web hosting was initially developed as a weblog or community system, but now serves more diverse purposes. It offers features for eCommerce set ups, picture galleries, mailing lists and high-performance programming interfaces for applications. CVS integration allows the management of different files versions.
