We recommend visiting the sites and joining their communities if you choose one of our recommended web hosts and install the software.
Joomla!
I recommend Joomla! above all Content Management Systems. The documentation is excellent. Use it to develop portals or just a simple interactive website. Installs with member registration, polling, blogging, site search, contact form, web links page and mass mailing features built in. Adding message boards and Live Chat as plugins takes minutes.
