Hi there , I'm a newbie so please take that into consideration.... the docs I'm reading tell me how to set up a single DNN website.  Suppose I want to set one DNN website up for me, another for my wife, and others for each of my 3 kids....  Do I have to set up 5 different web sites using the DNN install, or is there some way I can support 'multi-hosted' web sites using the same core set of s/w   but each user would have his/her ability to customize her/his own website?

Sorry in advance if this is a dump question ......;

bobbo, this is one of the most popular capabilities of dotnetnuke - the ability to have multiple distinct sites run off one copy of the code and one database. In dotnetnuke terms these are known as portals. To add new portals you'll have to log in as a superuser (such as "host"), and go to the host->portals menu item, http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Knowledge/DotNetNukeOnlineHelp/tabid/787/TID/3800/cid/568/Default.aspx should help you get an idea how to work with this.

Ok thanks , that what I suspected, was just a little concerned while reading the docs.... it looks like all users'   personal websites  will be accesed as 'subfolders' off the main site?    eg    my daughters   site will be an url like eg    www.mydomain.com/sunny         , then if she wants to redirect another domain to it , eg www.sunny.com     will be directed to this DNN site?   does that make sense?    also do you know why my version   says 4.08.04   ?       everything I read says   4.8.4 is latest  ??

Use parent portals to achieve what you want, not child portals.  As for the version, the number is the same, preceeding zeros don't count.  :)
