What is Lanius CMS?

Lanius CMS is a light-weight content management system (CMS) with one of the broadest host compatibilities and best performances around. It is a CMS that does not need third party databases (although it supports almost any of them) since it can be installed using the Gladius DB flat file database, it is ideal for those hosts that do not have for example MySQL provided by default (e.g. free hosting sites). It is perfect for those of us that only want to run small websites and is easily backed up with its own sql file. Read as many articles as you can to get a full feel of what Lanius CMS is all about. Lanius CMS is open source and available to everybody for free!
