Ghost vs DNN: What are the differences?
Ghost: Just a blogging platform. Ghost is a platform dedicated to one thing: Publishing. It's beautifully designed, completely customisable and completely Open Source. Ghost allows you to write and publish your own blog, giving you the tools to make it easy and even fun to do; DNN: Open source web content management platform (CMS). It is the leading open source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft ecosystem. The product is used to build professional looking and easy-to-use commercial websites, social intranets, community portals, or partner extranets. Containing dynamic content of all types, DNN sites are easy to deploy and update.
Ghost and DNN belong to "Self-Hosted Blogging / CMS" category of the tech stack.
Ghost and DNN are both open source tools. It seems that Ghost with 30.8K GitHub stars and 6.68K forks on GitHub has more adoption than DNN with 623 GitHub stars and 510 GitHub forks.
So many choices for CMSs these days. So then what do you choose if speed, security and customization are key? Headless for one. Consuming your own APIs for content is absolute key. It makes designing pages in the front-end a breeze. Leaving Ghost and Cockpit. If I then looked at the footprint and impact on server load, Cockpit definitely wins that battle.
