Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Wordpress and PHP both have inherited vulnerabilities that help intruders. And When you add extensions, it adds. For Security, only Host can not do any thing.

Either, you make a penetration testing from some reasonable security company, and you will get save from 99% of amateur attacks.

Or make your Wordpress installation always updated, and use as less extensions as possible.

Its better to use some backup plugin, and keep on taking daily automatic backups. So In any such case you can instanlty bring your site back to life.

I am using http://me.wisnetsol.com for last 3 years, and never get hacked.

Well, I don't believe even Amazon will help much about it. There are certain vulnerabilities inherited with Wordpress, php that helps hackers to intrude. And when you add extensions, it adds.

I suggest you get proper penetration testing, and remove those vulnerabilities. And you can run your blog on any reasonable shared host without any issue.

I am using CMS for almost hundred of sites we have developed. Besides few static sites.

We never faced any issue with SEO.

many of our sites are ranking good.

For Example: www.wisnetsol.com is Joomla based. And its ranking in top-10 for "Logo Design Dubai', Web Deisgn Dubai", and "SEO Dubai".

Looks like your answer is based on assumptions, that CMS generate some bad code or make it tough for SEO.

Wordpress is definietely a best choice considering various points"

1. Wordpress is developed mainly for blogging. Means the basic structure is designed from the blogging prospects. Gradually they build up and added features of CMS but without changing their main structure.
2. Joomla is mainly built as CMS. That is very flexible and can be used for various types of websites using extensions. So If you want to use Joomla as blogging site, you need some extra extensions.
3. Wordpress is much easier to use, specially when you are using it for blog only.
4. 100 of blogging related extensions available with Wordpress. For Example Social Sharing, Feedburner, Videos and other media handling, etc. It can be bit complex in Joomla.

Thanks Ryan.

This un-usual project ratio is for one reason.

We have more niche customers who need their niche specific features, as compared to general websites.

For Example, this month, we did 2 projects.

1. Rent a Car Company: their full automatic quote and reservation system including Fleet management.

2. A job Board including lot of advance HR portal features.

And joomla provided us great foundation, and for both requirements, some components were available which helped us to customize and deliver the solution quickly.

In the best of my knowledge, wordpress doesn't have any solutions available for both requirements.

I hope this clarify that why we have un-usual ratio.

We have worked on over 100 joomla projects and almost 20 projects of Wordpress.

I am fully agree with Ryan, that its largely depend on developers that what type of issues you face with site either it is developed in Joomla or Wordpress.

I usually make my decision based on following points:

1. If site is niche based like for specific Industry. Joomla is better, as it has plenty of extensions available for specific industries like auto, realestate, event management, etc.

2. If site is multi-ligual, I choose Joomla. As it can handle multiple languages from within one system with really powerful options. Wordpress, we have to make separate installations for each language.

3. Multi-Template Website: Joomla can easily have different templatings for different parts of website.

4. If site is for small business, which doesn't need above complexities, I prefer to use Wordpress. As it is simple specially for end user to handle.

As far as SEO is concerned, Before Joomla 1.7, Wordpress was on Top. But now Joomla has almost same options. But definitely, as Joomla sites are usually more complex, SEO handling can be more complex.

One more thing, I am not sure about Wordpress, but Joomla's Admin panel is also fully customizable. We can make our own internal template, hide complex stuff for advance users only. And you can brand inner panel with your own graphics etc.
