shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by Pixie

According to the Pixie website, Pixie is a ‘small, simple, website maker.’ It is technically a content management system, which you can use to make blogs and other types of sites. The platform is 100% free and open source. Pixie’s team of developers is committed to keeping their CMS up to date with all the web standards of the day, which can ensure your site operates smoothly on all modern browsers. Another nice perk about this platform is that they make it easy to setup any type of site you are interested in. Whether you’re making a basic blog, a site for your business or even a page to show off your art, you can do it all with Pixie. They have a number of very nice features that will help you to get everything up and running just the way you want it. While there certainly is a lot of good things to say about this platform, it is important to understand that it is designed more for simple sites. If you try to use Pixie to make a massive eCommerce site, it’s not going to be a good option. Thanks to the simplicity of this platform, however, you will be able to enjoy great performance even on an entry level shared hosting package.

Pixie Review

Initial Setup
You can get your Pixie site up and running in just moments. This starts with the one click installation from your cPanel, which is included in all the web hosting packages we offer. Once that is done (which only takes a few seconds) you can start going through your initial settings. Even someone who hasn’t made a website before will be able to have their page up and running very quickly.
Plugins
Pixie breaks the plugins into ‘plugins’ and ‘modules’ which some other platforms combine into one. There are some good ones out there to choose from and download right from the Pixie website. The selection is somewhat limited so if you’re looking for something specific, it might not be there. Since the site is made in PHP, however, you can likely hire someone to create any plugins that you need if you can’t find them.
Themes
While nowhere near the number of themes that you’ll find for larger CMS’s, there are a decent number of them available. You can browse through them and you’ll likely find one you love. Installing them is also extremely easy with simple instructions.
Customization
This is one area where Pixie stands out from many of the other content management systems. When you setup your site, they actually do it differently based on the type of site you want to run. This adds some nice custom options that really aren’t found in other places.
SEO Friendly
By default Pixie is basically SEO friendly. You can’t do too much customization to the way on-site SEO is handled, but most people won’t need to anyway.
Cost of Running
This is a free, open source platform so you don’t have to spend a dime to get it. Due to the limited number of plugins, you may end up hiring someone to make you one if there is something you want, but that should be pretty affordable. For web hosting, you can save money compared to other platforms because it is not very intensive on system resources. Unless you’re getting a ton of traffic, an entry level shared hosting package will be more than enough.

Final Thoughts

There is really a lot to like about Pixie. If you’re just looking to put up a simple site that you can build without any real technical experience, this is a great option. It is easy to use, well-maintained and makes really nice looking sites.
