Mmm... it depends ;-) IMHO nothing on the market right now comes close to Wordpress as CMS in term of service, security and choice, but you didn't specify your needs. As others have suggested, Joomla and Drupal are surely worth a try if those are the services you are looking for. If instead your question was just regarding a blogger platform to write your journal or to create your own blog, aside from Google's blogger of course, there is Medium, Ghost.org and Steemit (this one blockchain based), have a look, I'm sure you'll find something useful. If you needed something in particular, just follow up in this thread, of course!

I'm a Drupal-user for a few years with core 7.xx. As I know Drupal 7 will be supported until november 2021.Franz said:
But an upgrade to core 8.xx is senseless, because Drupal 8 end of life is also at november 2021 while Drupal
9 will be released in the next year.
So I'm not really familiar with Drupal 8 and I've heard good things about Wordpress, please can you tell me
the main differences / benefits ?

[font=Calibri,sans-serif]I personally stick with WordPress as a small user, like so many mega companies do within an endless list like NBC ,Forbes, UPS, TIME Magazine, New York Times, CNN, Volkswagen, General Motors, etc.
Just give it a try!
It is very easy to use.
Install it from your cPanel using an instant installer like Softaculous, and it will take you a few seconds only.
You can make the backups from there also very easily.[/font]

Thank you for the link, Franz. I'll read the comparison on weekend.
Always in my mind are the lot of attempts to attack my Drupalsite with obviously Wordpress security leaks in my log.

After reading your recommendation about Drupal/Wordpress I'll give Wordpress a try.
At first I'll going to install Wordpress on xampp and play around with a few plugins.
After that I have to decide which system works best for me.

If its websites you want you could maybe try Concrete5? or maybe BuilderEngine?
Not sure about them though as i never got BuilderEngine to work, And Concrete5 Is too complex.

craftcms will be one of the choice,
although the market size is still small and not as many plugins as wordpress,
the interface is more modernised and comparably less "hacking" issues.
I haven't go deep into it but i am quite happy playing with the demo,
you can apply one demo site by registering from their website.

I particularly like and use joomla, in my opinion I think it is more organized when creating the layout / template, I usually create the template based on the bootstrap. But in case you have to see what is the best alternative for your project, for me there is no better cms, I think they are all good, what exists is the one that you have more knowledge or adapt better or have some solution easier for your project.
