Open Source CMS
MECnet is committed to hosting open-source Content Management Systems (CMS). MECnet understands the importance and value of open source applications to both K-12 and government entities.
Open-source software is well supported, feature rich and most importantly, cost effective. With the economic crunch continuing to put pressures on budgets, webmasters are not only under pressure to reduce costs, but also to show the importance of technology in schools. With advanced open-source CMS tools, webmasters can improve the functionality and content of their school websites while making them an integral part of the administration and curriculum.
MECnet servers have been fully tested to function properly with many open-source CMS applications. Software such as Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress and Moodle have all been fully tested and are freely available to MECnet Wrap-Around service customers. Included in our standard Wrap-Around solution, we provide a minimum 2GB of web hosting space on our systems. This can scale up to 20GB depending on your dedicated Internet bandwidth commitment to MECnet.
For additional information, or to get started, contact MECnet support at support@mecnet.net or 978-275-1600, (Option 1) and let us know which CMS you prefer. We will configure your account and do a base-install of the current version of this CMS.
Please note we also offer commercial CMS products that are significantly lower in cost than their competitors.
