shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by Chyrp

Chyrp is a content management system that is designed primarily for making simple blogs. It has been around since 2007 and still gets updated from time to time. It is an open source system and is built on PHP. Right out of the box it is fairly limited in its features, which is done intentionally since it is trying to be a ‘lightweight’ system. It does have a very nice plugin and theme engine built in, however, so you can customize the platform as you see fit. There are a decent number of plugins and themes released for this system as well. Of course, not as many as you might find with WordPress or other big name options, but enough to have pretty much everything you may want.

Chyrp Pros

Lightweight
You don’t need powerful system resources to run this platform, even with customizations. This means you won’t need to move to a more expensive web hosting package until you have a large number of regular visitors.
Clean Design
The default design of Chyrp is clean and easy to use for both administrators and visitors.
Well Documented Code
The code is properly documented, which will make it easier for anyone looking to add to the open source or code a theme or plugin for the system.

Chyrp Cons

Updates
The updates from this system do not come out as frequently as many people would like. Since few exploits are developed, however, that doesn’t present any major issues.
Too Simple
If you’re looking to build a large, advanced website you may have some trouble due to the intentional simplicity of this CMS.

Chyrp Review

Initial Setup
The initial installation and setup is extremely easy with Chyrp. You can install it with just a couple of clicks when you are using one of our great web hosting packages. Once the install is complete you will only have to make a few configuration updates (such as the name of your site, ect) to get it looking and feeling the way you want. Most people will be able to have their blog live in well under an hour with this system.
Plugins
The plugin engine for this CMS is very nice. It makes it easier to develop plugins and have them install without any trouble. The fact that Chyrp code is well-documented makes it even easier to get and install the plugins you’ll want.
Themes
Like the plugin system, this CMS works really well for themes. You can find quite a few out there for free or else hire a good developer to make you one. Overall it should not be difficult to find a great theme for your site and have it installed with just a few clicks.
Customization
You can customize a variety of things with Chyrp including the format of the links, the font, some colors and things like that. Without plugins there are some limits to what you can do, but for most people considering this platform, it won’t be a problem. Just keep in mind that this CMS is primarily designed for fairly simple sites and you’ll be satisfied with what you get.
SEO Friendly
Chyrp is a mixed bag when it comes to SEO. On the one hand it allows you to set custom link formats and other things, which can be very helpful. On the other hand, some things like meta tags aren’t as easy to use as they could be. You can find some good plugins, however, that will get the job done nicely for you.
Cost of Running
The platform itself is completely free and so are almost all the themes and plugins I was able to find for it. Due to the lightweight functionality of Chyrp you can almost certainly use just the entry level web hosting package for your site. If you start getting a very high number of visitors, you may need to upgrade eventually but most people won’t have any issues.

Final Thoughts

Chyrp is a really great blogging platform as long as you know what to expect. This isn’t overly complex and may be missing some features that people are used to from the larger systems. If, however, you are just looking for a lightweight, easy to use platform this may be the ideal option for you. Thanks to the one click installation options included with our hosting packages, you can install it and give it a try to see if you like it. If not, you can quickly remove it and move to another system of your choice.
