DotNetNuke Hosting Bundle

DotNetNuke is a web content management system (WCM or CMS) and application development framework which enables businesses to quickly build and deploy feature-rich, interactive web sites and applications in Microsoft .NET.

DotNetNuke is the world's most widely adopted framework for building web solutions on Microsoft Windows Server. DotNetNuke powers over 400,000 portals, intranets, extranets, and public web sites. An enthusiastic open source community with more than 700,000 registered members supports the platform.

DotNetNuke Features

Easy to Use

The DotNetNuke content management system makes it easy for administrators, content editors, developers, and designers to manage all aspects of their web assets. Wizards, content-sensitive help, and a well-researched user interface provide a smooth user experience.

Powerful

The DotNetNuke content management system can support multiple web sites from a single application installation. By dividing administrative tasks between host level and individual site level, administrators can manage an unlimited number of websites - each with its own unique appearance and content.

Feature-rich

The DotNetNuke application comes loaded with a set of built-in features that provide exceptional functionality. Site hosting, web design, content management, security, and membership options are all easily managed and customized through simple, browser-based tools.

Localized

DotNetNuke includes a multi-language localization feature that allows administrators to easily translate their sites into any language. And with an international group of hosts and developers working within the DotNetNuke ecosystem, native support is always close at hand.

Leading-edge

The DotNetNuke web content management system and application development platform gives developers the opportunity to leverage best-practice software development concepts and leading-edge technologies like ASP.NET 2.0, Visual Studio, SQL Server, Windows Server, and IIS.

Flexible and Extensible

The DotNetNuke web content management system and application development platform fits easily into existing computing environments. The core framework includes a series of open APIs that make integration with existing applications simple and straightforward, allowing businesses to focus on extending features and functionality rather than troubleshooting installations. And, DotNetNuke is flexible enough to be used for anything - new applications, minor site modifications, major overhauls, and swap outs.

Recognized

The DotNetNuke web content management system and application development platform is widely recognized and respected in the open source community, with hundreds of thousands of applications in use. DotNetNuke Corp. and DotNetNuke community members continue to evolve the software through rigorous development, testing, community participation, real-world trials, and end-user feedback.

Content Management and Design

Site Settings

The site settings page allows the administrator to define the title of their site and manage search engine descriptions and submissions, user welcome messages, logos, backgrounds, and skins.

Content Management

By leveraging the base functionality exposed through the built-in content management system, developers and site administrators can be immediately productive and more focused on delivering optimal solutions to meet their own unique business requirements.

Stylesheets

Built-in stylesheets help users create pages with a uniform appearance. Stylesheets can be easily configured to alter certain elements, such as font type, color, bullet points, and background color.

Site Skins

Skins allow administrators to completely change the look of a site without the need to reorganize content - all at the click of a button. Skins can be easily designed, and are widely available through third-party vendors as free offerings or custom-built purchases.

Modules

DotNetNuke comes with over 25 free modules, which are standalone pieces of code that provide specific functionality to the user, and can be grouped together in units to form complete web pages. Modules include popular features like banners, discussion, FAQs, Searches, Weblogs and XML/XSL, and can be easily added, edited, deleted, restored, moved around on a page, or transferred to other pages. A wide variety of add-on modules are available through DotNetNuke community members and third-party vendors.

File Management

This powerful tool allows administrators to upload files directly from their computers. Uploaded files are instantly available for use on the site and are also listed in a module that handles documents and file downloads.

Recycle Bin

With the recycle bin, users can easily restore any content, module, or page that has been deleted. The deleted item is restored to its original location.

Drag-and-Drop

Moving containers and modules around is as simple as dragging and dropping them on a page.

Banner Advertising

Banner ads can be an effective way to generate revenue. Through the Vendors tab, administrators can easily add vendors and their profile information; upload banners and determine their placement; define number of impressions, cost per impression, or length of ad campaign; track ad views and click-throughs; and define affiliate referrals.
