Installing DotNetNuke on a Network Solutions hosting package can have all sorts of problems.  Most people don’t even give it a try or become so frustrated that they move on to another hosting company.

First, I am in no way advocating or endorsing Network Solutions over any other shared hosting service, but felt since they are a large company and many people may have an account with them today or a client of yours down the road might have a hosting package, it was worth laying out the steps to have the best possible experience if you choose this route.

To help document my own procedures when installing DNN on a Network Solutions hosting package I have put together 30 Steps to Successfully Installing DotNetNuke on a Network Solutions Shared Hosting Package.

This document may help answer some of your questions regarding properly configuring DNN for the best performance and long term success of your DotNetNuke portals.

Below are some of the items I address:
