Each DotNetNuke Edition includes powerful administration and security tools. These include:
- Single installation, multiple portals – DotNetNuke supports multiple portals or web sites using a single database. DotNetNuke installed on a web server can support multiple web sites through a single hosting account, ideal for providing sub-hosting services to memberships or for organizations providing departmental web sites.
- Host and Administrator accounts – Separating host from administrator accounts allows for efficient administration. Logging in as Host allows users to manage settings related to site hosting and e-commerce, including monthly hosting fees, disk space, and demo period/expiration dates. The Host can access a list of all hosted sites and their individual hosting information, and can edit, modify, or delete a specific site. Logging in as Administrator lets users manage their own site by editing, modifying, or deleting their site settings. This does not provide access to other sites operating under the same host.
- Security roles and protected content – Administrators can define and assign roles for different user groups such as registered users, subscribers, content providers, affiliates, and media. They can then grant access and editing rights for each group. Rights can be assigned to an entire site, a single page, or even to an individual module on a specific page. Individual users may belong to more than one group. Administrators can also establish separate password-protected areas on their web site to control access.
- Site Log – Administrators can track users and visitors by generating reports with details such as page popularity, page views by day, page views by days of week, page views by hour, page views by month, user frequency, user registration by country, and user registration by date.
- Manage vendors and affiliates – Administrators can store contact information, advertising materials (banners, button ads), and statistical data on site vendors and affiliates. They can also manage start and end dates for ad campaigns, track impressions, and calculate cost per impression (CPM).
- Bulk email and newsletters – Administrators can compose and send bulk email messages to specific users or groups. They can also publish newsletters—created and sent as HTML documents—to targeted user groups.
