Hi. I'm getting to know DNN.  I want to use create a blog in Typepad and map it back to a subdomain in my site.  I was thinking of a subdomain along the lines of either blog.mydomain.com or mydomain.com/blog.  Does DNN support custom DNS services so that I can do that?  If so, can you direct me to instructions on how to set up a subdomain with DNN?

Thanks,

KathyH

you can create any number of portals in DotNetNuke with addresses www.mydomain.com, blog.mydomain.com (parent portals) or www.mydomain.com/blog.

if you already run a site www.mydomain.com with a different software, /blog would be installed as a parent portal in a virtual directory, while blog.mydomain.com would be a separate website in IIS.

Great!  Can you point me to the documentation that will show me how to set up the portal www.mydomain.com/blog and where I would go to look up the DNS information to give to Typepad?  THanks!

Forgive me if I have missed something, but why do you need DNS? Where is your DNN site located? Why don't you use the DNN blog module?

The first name to come to mind with custom DNS is DynDNS.com. But I am unsure what you need the DNS to do.

I'm don't want to use the built-in DNN blogging function because it's too limited for what we want to do.  Namely, it does not offer multiple users for a single blog.  Instead I'm planning on creating a Typepad blog and want to map it back to our website using a domain name something like www.mydomain.com/blog.  I want to be sure I understand how to map the Typepad blog back before I create the Typepad account.

Maybe I'm asking the wrong question so let me reprint a query that Typepad provides its clients to ask host providers....

     I’m using TypePad (http://www.typepad.com/) to host my weblog. TypePad supports a feature called domain mapping, where my domain can be pointed at their servers. In order to use this feature, my registrar must support custom DNS services--I need control over the DNS records that describe my domain, and I must have the ability to create and modify A, MX, and CNAME records. Do you offer such a service? Please send me more details on how it works and how I can turn it on for my account.

 

If this is available for DNN, then I need to have specific information to give to Typepad and need to know where to get it from.
