I am setting up a new website on 3essential.  I am having them install the DNN.  Should i have them install on the root?

 

Thanks

 I'd say that it depends on how your site is designed.

If this installation of DNN is going to be the only website you have (including child portals, ect) then yes.
If it is going to be a subsite, like dnn.mysite.com, and mysite.com would be something else, or even a different DNN isntallation, then no.

This will be the only site.  One install and one site with no child protals.

I would recommend root install. Some hosting providers have limited permissions on root directory, but you can handle it with workarounds.

Personally recommend Hostgator for hosting single or multiple DotNetNuke Websites.

Hi all,
I'm very very new to DNN so please be patient with me.....;-)

I registered my domain name just today with GoDaddy and am using them to host my website also. I would really like to get DNN 4.9.1 up and running on this.

From what I have been reading so far it seems pretty hard to do. I am looking for a newbie proof tutorial or just some clear steps on what I should do on how to set this up or if someone can point me to one that you do not have to subscribe too. All the I have found so far online require you to pay for them. I am a College student with no income I am not in a position to do that right now.

The video tutorials on www.dnncreative.com are simply fantastic and they have helped me get a much better understanding of what DNN is and what it can do.

All the best,
Mark
