What is open source software?

Open source website systems (Open Source) have source code that is publicly available and can be obtained and modified by anyone for free. Although open source website systems may seem cheaper and more flexible, they also have many disadvantages and risks. Since anyone can view the source code, vulnerabilities can be easily identified and exploited by hackers.

Once issues of incompatibility or errors are found in open source systems, they often have to wait for the developers of the relevant modules/plugins to fix them. If these issues are not prioritized or if the modules/plugins are no longer being updated, they may never be fixed.

Popular open source website CMS: WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Magento, OpenCart...

What is closed source software?

Closed source website systems (Closed Source) have source code that is not publicly available and can only be accessed and modified by the developers or authorized personnel. As a result, attacking such website systems is extremely difficult.

Advantages of using closed source website systems:

Security: The source code of closed source website systems is kept confidential, making it less susceptible to hacking or misuse. The source code of open source website systems is publicly available, which means anyone can find vulnerabilities and weaknesses, posing a threat to the security of your website and data.

Quality: The source code of closed source website systems is written and tested by professional developers, ensuring high quality and stability. The source code of open source website systems is written and updated by different contributors, which may result in issues of incompatibility or errors, causing your website to malfunction or crash. While open source CMS may work fine initially when setting up a website, over time, some plugins may stop being updated, leading to dysfunctional features.

Support: Closed source website systems usually provide professional technical support and services to help you address any issues or requirements. Open source website systems are typically sold as a one-time purchase without formal technical support and services, and you can only rely on the community or forums for help, which may not always provide timely or effective responses.
