DotNetNuke (DNN) Hosting

Cloud Vortex™ DotNetNuke (DNN) CMS Cloud Hosting is deployed upon: Windows, IIS, MS-SQL, & ASP.NET – Cloud Servers configured for optimal DNN security & performance. Our use of Parallels® Cloud Server to create both Shared and Private Cloud Servers running on Dell® Cloud-Series (C6220) Servers with ultra-fast SSD Cloud Storage provides peak performance; as well as: Load-Balancing, Resource Scaling & Bursting, High-Availability Failover, etc... DNN Security is enhanced via: Windows Server Administration "Best Practices"; Automatic & Managed Updates; SiteLock; plus other included and optional add-on features.

Cloud Vortex™ Shared Cloud CMS Hosting features Parallels® Plesk Automation; and [Private] Cloud Servers feature optional Parallels® Plesk Panel – both of which support 1-Click DotNetNuke (DNN) Installation. This provides an easy method of installing DNN into your Website, without the need for manual FTP upload, creating a database, etc... getting you started with DNN quickly. This also allows future DNN updates to be handled within Plesk. However, you can still choose to undertake a manual install for greater customization and control.

DNN SHARED Cloud CMS Hosting is distributed across separate Windows 64-Bit Cloud Servers for: Web; Database & Email – with: IIS; MS-SQL; & ASP.NET. For DNN PRIVATE Cloud Servers – Web, Database & Email are on the same Windows 64-Bit Cloud Server. In both cases, if enabled, the Email Server is SmarterMail.

DNN SHARED Cloud CMS Hosting supports from 10 to 100 Mailboxes; whereas DNN PRIVATE Cloud Servers support from 250 to UNLIMITED Mailboxes * – depending on the selected Mail Server license level and resources.

* Assuming that the server is configured with enough resources (i.e. Memory, CPU & Diskspace) – SmarterMail supports 250 Mailboxes by default, and can be upgraded to 500, 1000, 2000, or UNLIMITED Mailboxes. At least 2 GB of Memory is recommended for SmarterMail.

SHARED Cloud CMS Hosting supports from 1 to 10 Domains; whereas PRIVATE Cloud Servers support UNLIMITED Domains.

SHARED Cloud CMS Hosting supports from 10 to 100 Mailboxes; whereas PRIVATE Cloud Servers support up to UNLIMITED Mailboxes * – depending on the selected Mail Server, license, and resources.

* Assuming that the server is configured with enough resources (i.e. Memory, CPU & Diskspace) – Qmail and Postfix as the Mail Server both support UNLIMITED Mailboxes; whereas SmarterMail (currently requires a second server) supports 250 Mailboxes by default, and can be upgraded to 500, 1000, 2000, or UNLIMITED Mailboxes.

The amount of Cloud Server Memory that is available to run the CMS, Database, etc... Memory does NOT relate to SHARED Cloud CMS Hosting because the servers are "Shared" and resources are therefore allocated at the server (not subscription) level. By default, PRIVATE Cloud Servers provide 512 MB (0.5 GB) of Guaranteed Memory – which can be upgraded to higher levels, as more Memory means better performance and increased server stability.

Diskspace is the amount of SSD Cloud Storage that is provided to store the CMS Website(s), Database(s), Email Messages, Log Files, etc... SHARED Cloud CMS Hosting supports from 2 to 100 GB of Diskspace; whereas by default PRIVATE Cloud Servers provide 20 GB of Diskspace – each of which can be upgraded as needed.

TRAFFIC – The amount of monthly Traffic (i.e. Data Transfer / Bandwidth) provided for all CMS Websites Hosted within the subscription. Every Website visitor and every Email sent or received results in some amount of Traffic. ViUX® provides "UNLIMITED" Traffic for our CMS Cloud Hosting, which means that we do not impose a limit on the total amount of Traffic used by the CMS Website(s) or Email; however there is a practical limit to the total amount of simultaneous data that can be handled by a Cloud Server's Virtual-NIC Card as generated by (X) number of Websites and Web Services Hosted on that server. Therefore if it is known that a CMS Website will have ultra-high traffic needs, we highly recommend Hosting on a Dedicated Server.

Cloud Vortex™ SHARED Cloud CMS Hosting features Parallels® Plesk Automation; and PRIVATE Cloud Servers feature optional Parallels® Plesk Panel – both of which provide a Web Interface by which to control all aspects of the CMS Website(s) and Web Services, including: Databases; Email; FTP; etc... as well as the CMS itself and all other aspects of your service. Plus you can use the included Parallels® Web Presence Builder to create additional Websites online in minutes (such as within sub-Domains of the primary CMS site) – using any one of hundreds of professional Website Templates.
