There are two types of portals which can be created using this application:
Parent Portals are sites which have a unique URL ( ie. www.domain.com ) associated to them. This generally involves purchasing a Domain Name from an Internet Registrar, setting the Primary/Secondary DNS entries to point to the Hosting Provider's DNS Server, and having your Hosting Provider map the Domain Name to the IP Address of your account. An example of a valid Parent Portal Name is www.mydomain.com. You can also use the IP Address of your site without a Domain Name ( ie. 65.174.86.217 ). If you need to have multiple Domain Names pointing to the same portal then you can seperate them with commas ( ie. www.domain1.com,www.domain2.com ). Do not create a Parent Portal until all of the DNS mappings are in place or else you will not be able to access your portal.
Child Portals are subhosts of your Hosting Provider account. Essentially this means a directory is created on the web server which allows the site to be accessed through a URL address which includes a Parent domain name as well as the directory name ( ie. www.domain.com/directory ). An example of a valid Child Portal Name is www.thecommunityplace.com/portalname. A Child Portal can be converted into a Parent Portal at any time by simply modifying the Portal Alias entry.
*Please Note: Portals will be created using the default properties defined in the Host Settings module ( HostFee, HostSpace, DemoPeriod ). Once the portal is created, these properties can be modified in the Admin tab Site Settings module.
