- Single Installation, Multiple Portals – DotNetNuke provides support for multiple portals/sites using a single database. This allows the software to be installed on a web server and support multiple websites through a single hosting account, which is ideal for administrators who provide subhosting services to their membership, or for companies that want to support unique websites for each department.
- Host and Administrator Accounts – For users supporting multiple sites, differentiating the Host from the Administrator is important.
- Logging in as Host allows the user to manage settings related to site hosting and e-commerce, including monthly hosting fees, disk space, and demo period/expiration dates. The Host has access to a list of all hosted sites and their individual hosting information, and the ability to edit, modify, or delete a specific site.
- Logging in as Administrator allows the user to manage settings related to their own individual site. The Administrator may edit, modify, or delete settings specific to their own site, but has no access to other sites operating under the same host.
- Security Roles and Protected Content – Administrators can define and assign roles for different user groups, such as registered users, subscribers, content providers, affiliates, media, etc. They can then grant access and editing rights for each group. These rights can be assigned to the entire site, a single page, or even to an individual module on a specific page. Individual users may belong to more than one group. Administrators can also establish separate password-protected areas to control access.
- Site Log – The site log allows administrators to track users and visitors by generating reports including detailed site log, page popularity, page views by day, page views by days of week, page views by hour, page views by month, user frequency, user registration by country, and user registration by date.
- Manage Vendors and Affiliates – Administrators can store contact information, advertising materials (banners, button ads), and statistical data on site vendors and affiliates. This tool also manages start and end dates for ad campaigns, tracks impressions, and calculates cost per impression (CPM).
- Bulk Email – Administrators can compose and send bulk email messages to specific users or groups.
- Newsletters – Administrators can easily publish newsletters to a targeted group of users. Newsletters are created and sent as HTML documents, and archived for future use.
