Hi all,

I was just getting ready to setup the top line shared account /w hostgator for hosting a multiple of sites I will be creating. I have a dilemma now.

I have family members who are missionaries in thailand at the borders of Burma. They were in burma for years until they were kick out in 70's by the cruel regime that is in place right now. Long story short they will be taking teams into Burma . This is the only way aid is getting in is through ministries like theirs.

Why am I telling you this? Well I decided to put my project aside and create and informational website for them to get the word out to their donors and the world.. I was thinking along the lines of joomla w/ wordpress blog? Is that a good way to go? they will have video crew w/ them and of course photos. So need a way for them to be able to upload to the site.

I do not want them to have access to my admin section of host gator but they will need to admin their site! Will joomla and wordpress allow for several people having access to the admin area? should I just get reseller package for hostgator so they can have admin privileges of site or is that necessary? I am not sure how it works! Thanks for the help w/ this

Dear babbler,
Joomla is a content management system with powerful functionalities. Create Username and Passwords for the persons whom you want to give admin rights like making changes in the content of your site, that is to manage your site along with you. Then mail the username and password to those people. After loggin into your administrator account of your Joomla site you can do that. Users can be allotted different rights like Super Administrator, Administrator etc. as you wish. Control the users from your administrator panel. You don't need to give the details of your hosting account or password to others. Never do that. It is dangerous. Your hosting Account and your Joomla administration is two different things. Don't confuse them please.
