Hey,
I want to launch a community and now the question is, which is the most secure CMS. I thought about drupal and liked it, now what do you think about drupal security ? secure enough ? or better choice ?

Drupal is good. Just keep your CMS version always up-to-date, because nothing is bulletproof and quick patching can save your day Wink .

In my opinion, it depends. If you are a good coder, then I strongly suggest that you build one yourself - that way nobody else is able to look through the source to find exploits making it much harder to hack. Unfortunately, this tactic does come at a risk. Most large CMSs such as Drupal are tested (sometimes even professionally) for security. But even then, exploits are developed and even security tested products sometimes are not quite as secure as you are lead to believe.

I personally code my own CMSs - It gives me the control I need without the bloat that comes with large CMSs such as Drupal or Mambo/Joomla. I am a quite capable coder and I am very confident in the security of my software Smile

True true Laughing
Shared hosting is so insecure (teen hobbyists with an off-the-shelf computer running 24/7 in their parents basement and a professional looking website) these days that secure software really means nothing, just as koko said. If you do plan to host your own secure community, make sure you go with a reputable host Smile

[quote=lenny]make sure you go with a reputable host [/quote]

that would be nice for sure, but expensive ! The point is I am just a 18 year old boy, who has to learn for his exams and in his free time sometimes does some computer stuff. Ok it's not just a bit, it's a lot but I am no professional and I do not want to investigate a lot of money in some server if I do not have enough time to use it.

Just because a host is reputable doesn't mean that it has to be expensive Smile I must admit to being like yourself, I am mid way between my exams too. All it takes is a bit of research - reading up on reviews and you should be fine Smile
