Who Is the Host?


Overview

In Chapter 4, you learned just about everything there is to know about administering a DotNetNuke portal. In this chapter, you'll learn everything there is to know about administering a collection of portals, their environment, and runtime features.

As the Host, you function essentially as the "creator" of the DotNetNuke universe in which the portals exist. This is a lofty sounding role, but it is an accurate description because the Host has absolute sway over what portals can and cannot do within their installation. Each Portal Administrator is subject to the "laws of nature" established by the Host, and the Host has complete authority to change those laws at will. Some of those laws apply universally to all portals in the installation, but others apply discretely to individual portals.

Note 

Understanding the Host role is essential. Each Portal Administrator considers his or her portal to be alone in its own corner of the cyber-universe, but the Host knows otherwise. Host options provide for differentiation between one installation of DotNetNuke and another. Configuration choices made by the Host can affect function and performance of all portals and must therefore be made wisely and with deliberate intent.

When you complete this chapter, you'll know everything you need to know as a Host to effectively configure and manage a DotNetNuke installation.
