Hi, could somebody tell me what DNN is and what it is used for. I must have missed some threads. Excuse my ignorance, please.

I've used webhost4life.com for 2 yrs now and I've been satisfied with the service. Aside from SQL server and DotNet support they also have Sharepoint Team Sites available as part of the package. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John W. Colby Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 6:50 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] OT: My web site and WebHost4Life I am always a little hesitant to make recommendations on something like a web host company because whenever anything goes wrong... And things do go wrong... They always remember who recommended... However, I use WebHost4Life. The reasons are really pretty simple: I wanted to use DotNetNuke NotNetNuke requires ASP.Net and an MSSQL database I needed something inexpensive. I needed it to be EASY to get DNN set up. There are many Hosting companies providing Windows hosting, with ASP.Net capabilities, and even with MSSQL database support. However most of them provide a fairly paltry amount of disk space and / or server space. WebHost4Life provides 2 gbytes disk and 2 gbytes server (they share your 2gbytes) for $10 / month. That is my kind of price. And finally, it LITERALLY took me 5 minutes to get DNN set up. From the control panel for the admin of the web site (me) there is a hotlink that allows you to install DNN. The install works exactly as advertised. The only issue I had was that I installed DNN before my domain name pointed there, i.e. using the "temporary" url they give you to work with your site. Once my domain name pointed there I had a snafu getting the DNN site to work correctly. In the end I uninstalled and reinstalled DNN using my domain name (www.colbyconsulting.com) and it all worked like a dream. Given how easy the DNN install goes and the fact that I was just playing around at first learning how to use DNN it was a small issue, and in fact you may not have it happen to you. You should do your own research and come to your own decisions, but if you decide that WebHost4Life works for you, I get something (not sure what) for referrals so... My referral link is: http://www.webhost4life.com/default.asp?refid=jwcolby54 You can also visit my site and look under my picture for a link to WH4L using my referral. Speaking of the picture, I had that pic taken when I was working on the SQL book, and never got it in to the publisher, so my pic does not appear on the cover. What a shame eh? <grin> I decided what the heck, throw it on my web site. You guys can be honest and tell me if I should take it off. I've had a lot of good comments on the site and am quite pleased with how easy it was for me to do this stuff myself. John W.
