Joomla! has formed a partnership with SiteGround web hosting company for its official demo hosting and its new Free Joomla! Hosting option. The partnership is expected to increase the number of new users to Joomla! by making it easier to get started.
Joomla! is one of the world’s most popular open source content management systems (CMS), and it's used for everything from web sites and blogs to custom apps and intranets. Users have been able to create a temporary Joomla! demo account at demo.joomla.org since 2010, but that option has typically only included a short 30-day free trial. With SiteGround as the new official host, the trial period will be extended to 90 days to give users more time to evaluate all the features of Joomla!. Additionally, the sign up process will be faster and easier.
This new version of the Official Joomla! Demo will replace the current one starting in September 2014. The Free Joomla! Hosting option is expected to be launched later this year.
