DotNetNuke allows you to use a single hosting account for numerous domain names. Within DotNetNuke, you simply create a portal for each of the domain names. You no longer have to pay several hosting bills for hosting your web sites; DotNetNuke can display the content for each of your domain names from one installation or one hosting account.

Here are some steps that we take:

• Point the Domain names to a Hosting Providers’ server
• Create portals in DotNetNuke
• In DotNetNuke we create multiple portals for each of your domain names. The Portal Alias settings pick up the domain name and point it to the correct portal.

All portals are equal. whether Parent or Child, they do not have any special administrative advantages. When you create a portal, DotNetNuke by default gives the portal a number. The portal numbers start from 0. There is no difference in priority between portal 100 and portal 0.

The only difference between a parent and child portal is that a child portal creates a folder in the root of your DotNetNuke installation.
