Which systems have to be hosted/installed on a web server versus which systems are hosted by the CMS company.

The bare minimum requirement for your server would be PHP 5.1.3 with SimpleXML support. If you are planning to use Fancy URLs your server will need to support mod_rewrite (or something similar).

Most of us run GetSimple on Linux/Unix servers but it should run on Windows too. Almost all testing is done with Apache webserver software, so if your server runs on something else we wont be able to help you but it might still run.

Nothing is hosted by us, we don’t have the funds for that. You download the CMS and run it on your own server.

Any cost associated with the CMS

None, though we’d like a donation (press the big button) if you’re using it for commercial purposes. This is not required but would help Chris keep GetSimple available.

Of course you might have other costs like the layout and the server.

Your thoughts on ease of use

Doesn’t get much easier!

Ability to brand the CMS for my company

On the front end: 100%
The admin page: 100%, if you know your way around PHP. Otherwise this would be limited to CSS (style) changes only.

Does the CMS require PHP, SQL, etc.

Only PHP, as I mentioned as one of the requirements. It doesn’t use a database as it uses XML-files to store data instead.
