HELP: Building a new website. Some queries related to it.

[nileshgr]

I am planning to start a new website. My old website (theitkgroup.net) died three months ago because my Free Host was not ready to host my site for more time. The domain might work, but will redirect to mihalism.com (my free host).

Now, my own PC is a mini-Server. I am going to use to for my website.

Query #1:

What is the topic on which i should start a site ?

Query #2:

Which CMS should I use ? Or i should build my own ?

Query #3:

What are the minimum MUST features of a CMS ?

Thats all is in my mind for now. I will post more when i get it to my mind.

Please answer my 3 Queries above.

Dude, that link is for a different type of CMS. i.e. Offices. I need for a site. Another link there ?

and dude, i want a topic which will give me a lotta traffic.

How about OSS, Linux, PHP, MySQL, etc ?

no d00d d link given gives a general overview of d concept of CMS including Web content management system (something dat is clearly mentioned in d page d link above wud have opened)

heres a List of content management systems
d ones developed on d PHP platform are basically ment for web-based applications

Query #1:
What is the topic on which i should start a site ?

d00d dis query is seriously LAME

but as u said u want ur site to generate d maximum traffic, it is only possible if ur site is filled with lots and lots of NAKED WOMEN with lots and lots of exclusive mmses first uploded on ur site

on a more serious note, traffic to ur site would be generated on d basis of only 1 thing - CONTENT QUALITY

it does not matter wat ur subject is, but as long as u r able to provide quality content on that subject u will be able to attract the maximum traffic to ur site

Site Rule...
First of all choose a hosting with PHP and MySql supporting tools.Better to have CPanel installed on it for ur account access.
Secondly go for a CMS i used JOOMLA 1.0.13 and its simple and very powerful tool to manage ur content.
Decide first what ur going to do. Trffic do not comes in one day.
Ur Content should be unique, Updated and healthy. u have to sit back making content like watchdog for atleast 3 or 4 months before u can think of any traffic or so.

I don't need a PHP/mySQL host as my own PC is Server for PHP, MySQL, Python, Perl.



OOPS!!

FORGET TO MENTION THE "EXCEPT s**" TOPIC STRING.

My Reformed Sentence:

I need a topic which will give me lot of traffic. (Topic exclude s** )

 

[ahref]

How much traffic you want ?

 

[nileshgr]

How much traffic you want ?

A lot; for example 100 visits per day

 

[QwertyManiac]

Thats not a lot

You can try News of any kind, Song Lyrics DB, Warez. Wait, warez is allowed by you? Add that to the excluded list too then

Seriously man, think and try on your own

Now, my own PC is a mini-Server. I am going to use to for my website.

If you are serious about your website....than forget your own mini server...and buy a good hosting.

Query #1:

What is the topic on which i should start a site ?

Continue your old topics

Query #2:

Which CMS should I use ? Or i should build my own ?

I prefer Drupal.......but it depend on you.If you have any experience with any CMS , than it is better to continue with that.

creating new CMS just for own website is not a great idea.If you want to create CMS than go ahead..infact you can have your complete website about your CMS development.

What i meant by a mini-Server was that it can serve at least 100 people at a time and store content of at least 5-6 websites. Since i am in 10th, i don't get enough time to devote to develop a CMS. So for now, i will use Joomla! I will develop my CMS when my board exam finishes (around March).
