I am using DotNetNuke through a hosting service, but I am not sure if this is their issue.  I submitted a support ticket, but expect to hear that they don't support usability, so I hope this can be resolved here.

The web is called PlayingForGod.Org
The setting I used are:
Site type: Parent
Site Alias: playingforgod   (I also tried playingforgod.org/playingforgod)
Home Directory: Portals/[PortalID]
Description:
Keywords:
Template:  Blank Template
Use current user as Administrator: True

I created the new site and got this message:

There was an error sending confirmation emails - The SMTP host was not specified.. However, the website was created. Click Here To Access the new site

When I clicked the link to the new site I got a page:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

In the address bar was the address: http://playingforgod/

I am thinking it should have been: http://playingforgod.org/playingforgod/

Thank you for any help and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam

 

Also, you didn't mention whether you had added the domain name in your hosting providers control panel, I'm wondering if that was the missing link and your host has done that for you. And it can take up to 48 hours for a new domain name to display the site although I've never experienced that long a delay.

Hi Mark,

OK, somewhat confused by all this but I will try to help.

Before anything else, could you please explain exactly how the existing site playingforgod.org is set up and its relationship (if any) with your DotNetNuke installation?

I may just be having a senior moment but I'm having difficulty understanding how you can be using playingforgod.org on your DotNetNuke site if it is already being used elsewhere.
