I decided to use WordPress because it has a strong community and when any vulnerability is found it ends up being quickly corrected.
The worst thing you can have is to find your hard work ruined by anyone, just for fun… or using your website to spread all kind of bad things to others…

My Webhosting company uses Softaculous, an auto-installer of many popular scripts, that I used to install the latest version of WP (less than 2 minutes).

I then removed any unnecessary files:

/wp-admin/install.php
/wp-admin/install-helper.php
/wp-admin/upgrade.php
/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php
/wp-admin/import.php

and chose a new design (Thematic Framework) that I will now redesign as a child theme. When any update is released to the main theme I can safely update it because my design will be left intact.

That’s it, we are ready to (re)start!

If you keep your WP installation updated, and don’t use plugins that aren’t secure, you shouldn’t have problems.
