WordPress like CMS on local servers for blogging web-hosting

[Smiley_lauf]

Hi There

I am looking for a blogging site in South Africa that uses Wordpress like CMS; it must allow uploading ODF, PDF, DOC and PPT files.

Appreciate your help.

Many thanks

You could always host your own one.... blogging site means Wordpress/ Joomla, etc... and this means dynamic data.... MYSQL.... which means expensive to host and thus not freely available.

I would go with froot on this one, I am sure there are locally-hosted options where you can use Wordpress/Joomla.

I am paying R30/month for my Joomla site, but it is hosted overseas.

Try Texo - they offer a cheap hosting package and have a fantastico install of wordpress - ie you don't need to be a rocket scientist to get it sorted
