      I have a static html site which I cannot update myself. What solutions/ programs would you recommend for gaining the ability to update it myself? I'm reluctant to switch to WordPress because the sites that use any CMS that are hosted by my web hosting company get routinely hacked. Thank you!

        I would consider moving hosts then. I use Wordpress to not only build CMS type sites, but static sites as well, and have been for over 4yrs. I use HostGator for hosting, but I like BlueHost as well. Mine have never been hacked. (knock on wood).

        I am a big fan of Wordpress, the community and forums are great, it is user friendly, SEO friendly, and works great for any type of site.

        I would go with Wordpress, and move my hosting to something more reliable. A plan on most places is only around $100 for shared (obviously more if you need dedicated servers).

          LOL! Yep, that can happen. Remember, ALWAYS upgrade your software to the latest stable version. I forgot to upgrade my ecommerce site and it got hacked a couple weeks ago.

          Go ahead and feel free to use WP. Just remember to upgrade it because hackers find vulnerabilities in old versions.

          You can also use Joomla or drupal.org/
