Large Scale CMS

    I am going to be soon in need of a CMS that will be handling massive amounts of information. Think along the scale of Yahoo! in two to three years. Does anyone know of a CMS that will allow the kind of scalability that websites like that have?

    I would recommend vivvo 3.4. It is all AJAX, scalable, fast, good looking and very simple to use. Check out vivvo.net for more info.

    Alternatively just PM me.

    A paid CMS? Why would someone decide to pay for one when there are good free alternatives with great support communities around?

    Because "good free alternatives" always come bad and expensive at the end. I have a lot of experience with Mambo, Joomla, PHP-Nuke, Post Nuke, xOOPS, e107 and a lot more of them and all I can say is: don't use them for serious business. Those alternatives always have something to fix, something to patch, something that is wrong.

    I don't know about you but as for me - I prefer to work on my content and Google rating rather than fixing and patching the engine.

    Don't get me wrong. I was just wondering. Although, your words generate another follow up. Just because with some CMS you don't have to deal with patches and fixes, it does not necessarily mean there shouldn't be any to be taken care of. So I'd rather be worried when developers are keeping silent about patches than be happy that there's no fix to apply on the site over the time.

    No software is perfect.
