 Cheetah is an independent, self-hosted solution. This means that once you setup your site - you own it, you take care of it, you reap what you sow. This is a huge benefit, especially if you ever plan to turn your site into a profitable business, but this may imply certain level of involvement on your part. You need to update the software periodically, moderate content of your site regularly and pay for web-hosting.<br />

-Cheetah comes packed with [[features|<span class="icon">lots</span> of modules and thousands of features]]. It is always a good idea to "activate" only those features that are absolutely needed for implementation of your idea. Turning everything on may result in a cluttered interface, increased server load and diluted focus of your site visitors. You can extend Cheetah functionality even further by using modules, plugins, templates and language packs from [[m/market/|Cheetah Market]].<br />

 Cheetah is an "open source" platform, which means that you can modify it to suit your specific needs. Any modification, however, may complicate future version upgrades, so think ahead.<br />
