Hi there,

I have a windows shared hosting account with Mochahost. I have installed DNN website on their server. Now, I

want to setup multiple parent portals for each domain name I have. Each domain is a different website, obviously,

so I need to setup separate email accounts for each domain, but they all should point to the same DNN website so

that I can use the multiple parent portal feature of DNN.

Now, the support staff tells me that I can add Domain Alias for each domain name to have multiple parent portals

on the same DNN installation. I tried that and it works fine. But I cannot edit the domain alias and create email

accounts (because its an alias) - they just point to the same mail account at the parent dnn website. All the mail is

redirected to the parent DNN website mail account as well!

They are taking too long to help me get this setup so can someone please suggest me some solutions for this so

that I can forward it to them and get my portals (with separate email accounts) setup soon.

To summarize, i want
1. Setup multiple domains to point to the same DNN installation so that i can have multiple parent portals, and
2. Setup email accounts for each domain separately (do don't want to add each domain as alias).

Thanks for your help.

Karan.

You have two reliable options for this.

1.) Move away from multi-portal and do a true domain setup, and DNN installation for each.

2.) Move e-mail hosting to a third-party, and just update DNS entries for email on each, BUT DNN WILL NOT be able to send from anything other than the host config.

Therefore, with the limitation noted in #2 I personally recommend #1 only, unless you do NOT need DNN to send e-mail.
