Hi,

I'm trying to accomplish the following:
I have a client and my client wants to use functionality on my website for their clients but it should look as if this functionality / module is located on their website. How can I do this?

More specifically:
If their client types www.MyProduct.MyClientsSite.com (or www.MyClientsSite.com/MyProduct) their client is redirected to a page (or may be portal) on my website. What should I do in DotNetNuke to make this possible? What are the limits?

The following is probably necessary:
* My client should add an entry (for www.MyProduct.MyClientsSite.com) in their DNS referring to the IP address of my site.
* I should have a page (or may be even a portal?) which looks as if it is the site of my client.
* I should add a portal alias to my site (www.MyProduct.MyClientsSite.com) and have "PortalAlias Mapping Mode" set to "None". (Isn't it possible to do this with "PortalAlias Mapping Mode" set to "Redirect"?)

Is this correct? Am I overlooking things?

Thx.

'Custom branding' might be a better term to use instead of 'white labelling' to describe what I'm trying to accomplish.

DNN supports both parent and child portals  on the same hosting.

The advantage of CHILD hostings for your scenario is that you dont need to mess around with dns and aliasing - instead you use paths
www.mysite.com/myproduct/  - www,mysite.com/myproduct2/

Each functions as an individual portal - it can have its own skin and its own administration access.

Thank you Wes(ta).

I was hoping that clients would not be able to see (from the URL) that they are on my site. Would that be possible?

If you go down the Parent Portal route then you can setup each with their own entirely separate domains.

But you will need to handle the DNS records - and the IIS alias settings.

NOTE HOWEVER - that these are entirely separate portals - no content is shared between the portals as such - so you will need to add individual content to each portal.

Alternatively, if all you want is the SAME content for each site - but just a different LOOK to the content - then you could look at a skin switcher - based on the domain name.

In this case - all the aliases would be setup to point to the same portal  - and the skin stylesheet could be changed to present a different LOOK for each client

has a great tool that does this sort of thing.
