Hi All,

 Hopefully this isn't a silly question, but if I don't have plans to host the website myself, and choose a company like powerdnn to host, do I still have to go through the set up process of setting up the host? In the getting started series, some of the videos go into detail about the databases, setting up the web server, using  sql server, etc, but  does this still apply to me? We are working with an LMS company, which is DNN based, so our log in and users are going to be set up with that, not through the website. Our website is strictly for brochure/front end for the LMS purposes, so there aren't databases to create per se.

Hopefully this makes sense and if someone could clarify, it would be greatly appreciated.

 All the best and Happy New Year!

Hi Stephanie,

I also use powerdnn. When you choose them as a hoster they will setup a dnn database and blank website for you. You only have to upload your skin and fill in your content.

Hi Stephanie,
That's right!

Also, if your developer has already built the site, we have a very easy transfer/migration process - all they have to do is upload the files to us and we'll handle the entire restore process for you.
