hello,

I am extending the DotNetNuke functionality to adapt it to my company's requirements. The idea is to support around 10.000 web sites.

i read in some document that the maximun number of portals supported by an instance of  DotNetNuke is 2.000 (it is the maximum number of portals recommended by instance). In this way, im thinking to distribute the 10.000 web sites in 5 DotNetNuke instances, however, here in my company are asking me why 2.000 by instance and not 3.000.

Somebody know why these number? On what these is based?

what could happen if i create, for example, 10.000 portals in only one instance?

where i could have more information about it?

there is no limit implemented and one user reported, that he used to have up to 8.000 portals in an installation - though for me, management of this large number sounds like a night mare. AFAIK the number is limited by the underlying hardware, IIS configuration and size of the web sites

I am with leupold on this one.

If you are going to be running 2K plus portals on a single installation you will need to take a number of things into consideration.

1.) Underlying hardware (You will need some really good hardware in my opinion)
2.) The size of the database and the number of pages/tabs of each portal
3.) Performance settings, caching, compression and the like

Thos just name a few of the things that came to my mind right away.

As it is mentioned there is no limitation and personally I am not aware of any "recommended" limitation either as there are so many external variables that make it impossible to say that you can have _ portals per installation.

Also to the management issue mentioned above remember that extracting a single child portal is almost impossible from a database perspective.

hi again,

I'm still distrusted about this. I had thought, like i said before, in work with 5 installations of DotNetNuke, and to create 2.000 portals per installation, but now i dont know what to do.

In my original idea, i thought to do an external application, who would control the dotnetnuke installation's data (like user's info, portals localization, authentication directory, ..) and other operations (like read an static web site, in html, an transform it in a dotnetnuke portal).

I would be avoided so many problems if i worked with a single installation, but im not too sure that a single installation works fine with 10.000.

Also, 10.000 web sites are the portals with the system should work in a initial fase, but the requirements specify a limit of 30.000 web sites that it would have to suppport. The hardware for this project is whatever i want, so my restrictions are not about hardware.

I need an advice about waht to do, should i work with a single installation? or would i have to work with several dotnetnuke installations?

pd: i read about web farms or something like that, but i dont understand so much. Is this related with my problem??

Hi Javier,

how your project went?
I also want to use DNN for big number of sites inside of one installation but I am not sure about limitations by DNN or by hardware.
Can you share your experience?

I would like to know all details about that big implementation (sites per installation, what kind of hardware you have, etc...).

Thanks,
Oliver
