Common Questions Part 2
The second part of my common questions posts. If you haven’t already read it you should probably start with part 1.
Q. Do you use a CMS/what CMS do you use?
A. We do indeed use a CMS to run the sites. The CMS we use is called Typo3 and is built using PHP with a database backend (we use MySQL). I’ll talk more about Typo3 in detail in a future post, but one of the big benefits is the ability to run multiple sites of a single code base.
Q. What other software do you use?
A. We use OpenX hosted as our display advertising platform. Previously we had a local install of it, and used the predecessors of it, back to phpMyAds days. We also use Links SQL by Gossamer Threads as a directory script and various other smaller scripts for specific functions. As with the CMS, I’ll talk about these in more detail in a future post.
Q. Who do you host with?
A. We are currently using Rackspace for our dedicated managed servers. We’ve been with them for just over 4 years now.
