Most of you out there are satisfied with a domain name registration that costs about £5 and then creating a basic website for fun and uploading the website to a website hosting company that will deal with the maintenance and keep the server running for another £5-10 per year.

What if you have your own Windows Server operating system running ISS or PHP and want to tinker with CMS.

Well a great place to start is by using FREE open source code an one of the best ways is to use concrete5 available either @ sourceforge HERE
