TYPO3 CMS

TYPO3 CMS is a free, open-source content management system for websites and digital projects, available as self-hosted software. It supports multilingual, multi-domain platforms, custom content types, media management, SEO tools, and editorial workflows. Role and permission controls are designed for editor groups and decentralized teams. The maker lists security-by-default features including encrypted passwords, multifactor authentication, IP- and role-based access, and file storage outside the web root. TYPO3 also describes configurable data retention and tools for handling data export, correction, and deletion requests. Its stated audience ranges from small websites and intranets to complex online applications and multinational enterprises. LTS versions receive three years of free official support, with ELTS available for up to four additional years. TYPO3 14 requirements include PHP 8.2–8.5, supported database options, and modern browsers. The CMS plan is free; self-hosted system requirements apply. TYPO3 v12 ELTS is listed at €3,200 a year per single license before discounts, with that price applying from April 2026; year four is reserved for TYPO3 Partners.
