DotNetNuke - Community Edition (DNN-CE) is one of the most popular content management solutions available today under GNU (Open Source) licenses. Its use reduces the costs for small businesses by saving thousands of dollars in the acquisition of software licenses and support costs compared to expensive content management solutions.

If you choose to have an outside organization host your site, DNN-CE is a well-supported product with a large number of companies offering to host web sites developed using the DotNetNuke platform. If necessary, Agiline can assist in choosing a host.

The Community Edition of DotNetNuke is able to utilize the large selection of add-on modules that bring new functionality to the product. If the basic modules included with DNN-CE don’t meet design expectations for your site, Agiline can either custom develop add-on modules or license the appropriate modules if they are available in the DotNetNuke marketplace.

We have found the inherent user-permission limitations in DNN-CE to be prohibitive for organizations that want to host multiple micro-sites (sub-domains) off their primary domain. DNN add-on modules are available to address some of the security and account issues, but for complex relationships and content approval, we suggest using DotNetNuke - Professional.
