DotNetNuke Hosting

[geordiepaul]

Hi,

I've search these forums for information however some seem to be quite old now so I just wanted to ask for some confirmation.

On the Windows Copper plan...

1. DotNetNuke is fully supported?
2. I get a full blown SQL Server DB, and not SQL Express?
3. I can host DNN at the root of my site e.g www.mysite.com?
4. I have full access to manage file/directory permissions myself?
5. I can upgrade from Copper to Platinum at any time
6. I can multiple domain pointing at the site without using a redirect e.g. mysite.com and mysite.co.uk and NOT mysite.com redirecting to mysite.co.uk

Also what control panel is used? The forum talk a lot about Plesk however in a quick chat is was mentioned as being DotNetPanel.

Sorry for all the question, I've just had a nightmare with another UK host with a Plesk panel that didn't work.

Thanks

Paul

Hi,
With regards to point 6 in my original post, how do I set that up?

I have the domain I signed up for the account with .co.uk now I've added a new domain .com in the control panel but there seem no way to tell this domain what to do?

Am I missing something?

Hi Paul,

All you need to do is to add the your-domain.com domain as an Alias to the your-domain.co.uk from the control panel so that it points to the server & then follow the below mentioned steps to get the DNN portal display the same content for the your-domain.com domain as the your-domain.co.uk one.

I assume you've installed (or will install) DNN on your your-domain.co.uk domain.

• Login to your DotNetNuke Portal [your-domain.co.uk] as the 'host' user.
• Select 'Host | Portals' from the menu.
• Click edit (the pencil image) beside the appropriate portal name.
• Scroll to the bottom of the Edit Portal page where the portal aliases are listed, and click 'Add New HTTP Alias'.
• Enter the domain name [your-domain.com] that should show up in your browser window.

You may want to repeat the steps above to add all the URLs that are used to reach your website
