General

Who doesn't want their site to be faster? I want my sites to be blazing fast, delivering content and design in microseconds... but microseconds is still a dream. Loading in milliseconds is possible with some effort.

One of the frequent questions that we receive at Joomlaspan is "How can I include your AdSense , AdBrite *, and Paypal * modules within the content of Joomla 1.5?" 

We have given individual customized answers to many users, but this article will make it very clear and accessible to everyone.

There may be times when due to database or other issues, the Super Administrator assigned for a Joomla! installation may lose their super admin status and cannot login into the admin backend of the installation. One of the common situations used to be with the user synchronization procedure of the Joomla-SMF bridge. With new versions, that incidence has reduced, but this tutorial is useful for any situation where a super administrator cannot log in into the Joomla! admin backend.

We are glad to have you here! Welcome.

Joomlaspan is undergoing various positive changes over the last week. We are committed to provide you with quality Joomla extensions, both open source and commercial. While open source extensions serve the needs of the community, commercial extensions help us to maintain our website and provide us resources to continue developing more products and improve the existing extensions.

After the recent change in the management of Joomlaspan, we are taking a relook at all the extensions and revising them wherever necessary. If you have a good idea about these, please do let us know.

Joomla! is a dynamic content managemet system. That means, content is stored in a mySql database and the pages are generated on the fly as needed. For this reason, Joomla! based websites generally are slightly more resource intensive than static html based websites. This is also true with other content management systems like Drupal, Wordpress etc.

Some webhosts are highly experienced with Joomla hosting, not that it needs any special web environment, but it helps to go with those who are experienced.

Here are our recommendation to choose the best web host for your Joomla! based site:

1. Bluehost
2. Siteground
3. + More at our hosting advice center
