Descriptive URLs: Relevant keywords in the URL help with SEO.
Multiple-level menu system: Instantly find pages, no matter how far down the index they are.
Multiple-site support: Supports a network of sites rather than a few individual sites.
Multiple-user content creation and editing: Allows many users to write and edit site material.
Security/new release update notification
Various access control restrictions (user roles, IP addresses, email): Prevent intentional or accidental damage to your servers.

Cloud computing: The ability of the end user to access any computing resource (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) from one site.
