System Requirements?
SWCMS can be run with minimal development knowledge. Almost any webhost will be able to handle SWCMS without issues (we recommend Bluehost). For those interested in the technical requirements, SWCMS requires:

  • PHP 4.3.0 or Higher.
  • MySQL Server.

Why SWCMS?
SWCMS is a fork of the popular Pligg project, carried on the shoulders of several core team and community members from Pligg. SWCMS hopes to act as a unique catalyst for future social news code development as well as encouraging economic competition in the social news network - previously largely dominated by Pligg alone.

SocialWebCMS recommends BlueHost for hosting SWCMS:
