Reseller Hosting ASPHostPortal :: Make Your mark - Get a Brandable Web Hosting Reseller

clock May 15, 2010 09:00 by author Jervis

Thinking of going into web hosting? Maybe you've had experience working with your personal web space and would like to take the next step in webmastering. You could make money from hosting, certainly - but if you want to go the hardcore entrepreneurial route, you need to think seriously about marketing. If so, think about getting a brandable Web hosting reseller account. We offer our services to solve your problem. Visit our website at http://www.asphostportal.com. We will provide the best service to you.

Why does it matter that your reseller space is brandable? Well, for one thing, a brandable Web hosting reseller account would allow you to mark all the services with your own name, so that you can make entirely new footprints in cyberspace - and cut your umbilical cord from your web host, so to speak.

As a reseller, you can go into various agreements with web hosts over the kind of marketing you will do for their space. With non-brandable reseller accounts you may put up your own hosting company - with its own name, dedicated marketing and tech support agents and everything - but you still need to acknowledge that you're just using someone else's account. This will make you merely an agent of your web host, not an independent distributor.

If you want to be an independent distributor, you need to be free of advertising commitments to a web host. In effect, you will be marketing YOUR services and leaving the heavy server side stuff to the tech guys at your web host. This leaves your hands freer to attend to improving the other vital aspects of your reseller business, such as marketing and promotion. As a reseller, after all, you are essentially a marketer. Efficient advertising should be your first priority!

A brandable web hosting reseller would be most beneficial if you are thinking of playing in the big leagues and distributing large web space allocations, for heavy corporate use. If you want to attract business owners who want to put up medium to high traffic online stores, for example, brandable resellers are a good way to gain their trust in your service. At the very least, you will prove to your clients that you can appreciate the value of making a unique impression.

SharePoint Hosting - ASPHostPortal :: Creating Applications Using SharePoint

clock May 15, 2010 08:38 by author Jervis

Clients often contact us with the need for Corporate Portal or Website. Usage of Microsoft SharePoint platform is one of the easiest and convenient ways to solve their tasks. In the article we’ll try to briefly describe the powerful tool for creating the similar solutions.
Microsoft SharePoint is a web-oriented platform for collaboration and documents management. The solution can be used to create different web-sites with shared documents or dedicated applications (i.e. Wiki, blogs, forums). SharePoint functionality is presented to the User by control elements that display the data which can also be edited. Such webparts are placed on pages which in turn are placed on the Portal and are available to the User via browser.

If you’re looking for MOSS, you can contact us at ASPHostPortal. ASPHostPortal will give you many benefits. Hosting plans started from only $ 5.00/month. So, don’t think too long!

1. Windows Sharepoint Services

Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) – is a platform for deployment and content management by Microsoft. WSS has the following features:
- is a basis of files and folders;
- gives basic option for information search;
- gives content management system;
- management of access rights definition;
- gives an option for webpart extension.

After the application deployment the standart or customized webparts can be used. Blogs, private address books, documents store websites, internet shops, news websites, pages with audio and video players can be easily created with the help of the applications. All the above functionality can also be combined on the single portal. Our developers can alter any website component per your requirements.
The Lists can be set up to display various document types in different views as per the User's specific tasks. Microsoft SQL Server is used as DBMS for applications based on SharePoint.

2. Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) is the best component for integration SharePoint functionality into MS Office applications. It expands Windows SharePoint Services with new options. If a document have to be saved as parts of web-applications, the solution to use is MOSS. Client Office applications (including Word, Excel, Outlook, InfoPath) can be easily used in composition of Corporate solutions, build on SharePoint. All MOSS functions can be extended by our developers for a wide range of products realization: from the simple web-panels to the complex web-applications.

Sharepoint Advantages
SharePoint products and technologies give the wide range of advantages not only for developers, but also for separate users and organizations of any level:

- Full functionality of the portal right after the installation
All SharePoint Server options are available right after the installation. Though the set of Server options is wider and includes news, catalogues, topic areas, private web-sites- “my site”, supposed audience selection, tools for searching and viewing employees, work groups and information as well as web-sites creation that gives the necessary structure for building a single workspace.  SharePoint is based on Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, that is why tools of Windows SharePoint Services for co-working will be available at once.

- Performance and scalability
SharePoint Server supposes the following flexible means of deployment that provides distributed structure and optimal work of the portal: SharePoint supports server farms creation with distributed task servers, database severs, search option and option of indexation by different external services. Shared Services could provide from the single center and employ on the several portal farms the services like search or support of private web-sites.  Besides SharePoint Server can serve up to 1,000,000 Users simultaneously registered in Active Directory, and it has capacity of 250 pages per second.

- Private sites (“My sites” section)
Private site is a site which may have a private view where User stores data inaccessable to others, i.e. unfinished documents, private pieces of news and weblinks; and a general view where data for other Users is stored, i.e. presentations or finished reports. Information in the general view of private sites can be indexed by Administrator with the help of catalogue services, i.e. Active Directory, which provides Users with an option to search for the information and examples to help them complete their tasks, within all the company.
Single signon system
Singe signon allows the users to receive personal data from any system part with just a single login to the system. When Users login the portal, SharePoint saves User data in a secure place. When the portal applications require information from other business-applications, i.e. system of planning company resourses, CRM system of third-party providers, SharePoint uses User data with verifying them in Active Directory. So the User doesn’t need to login into external business-application.

- Flexibility, personalization, adaptation of web-component based pages.
SharePoint provides additional web-components and flexible means of their management, which allow Users to set up portal pages in the necessary way with simple drag-and-drop of the components to the page. In Microsoft Office FrontPage there is a complete support of web-components and web-component based pages including adding, editing and setting up of web-components, web-components zone and differents web-component pages;

- Subject parts
SharePoint provides for subject sorting, which is highly intuitive when searching for survey of random data from documents and people information to web-sites on base of Windows. A document or link can be refered to several subjects, subject parts may contain documents stored in SharePoint, as well as links to the information from outher sources. Management policy has hierarchical distributed structure that allows experts in this field to create and maintain the most favourable parts.

- Active Directory untegration with Microsoft Office products
SharePoint scan through Active Directory catalogues, gathering User data. Users can manage information about them in the portal and get alerts when other Users publish or change information.
SharePoint makes Users’ work more comfortable regardless of the application they use. The User can create and maintain web-sites, i.e. website of the document working area, add news and events to SharePoint web-sites on the portal and get alerts with the help of web-browser.

- Search
SharePoint allows Users to search by key words in the whole text and in the document properties. Users can search for not only the information, but also other people, work groups and web-sites of the portal.

- Key features of Windows SharePoint Services
Private websites, workgroup websites and subject areas of the SharePoint portal has all the features of Windows SharePoint Services document libraries, supporting version alert, simple routing and confirmation mechanism. Users can check in and check out documents or return to previous document versions using their usual applications.
SharePoint provides a wide range of calendar events, advertisements, links, tasks and also an option to define new lists (which serves as a flexible tool for different tasks solving). Additionally SharePoint provides with web-sites creation, uses meeting web-sites and document workspace right from the applications of Microsoft Office group. The websites created with the help of checked templates make it easier to conduct discussion and meetings, improving co-working of the work groups and companies.
Besides SharePoint provides a list of additional facilities:

a. Has a custom design option;
b. Has an option of IE, FireFox, Safari, Opera browsers usage;
c. Has wide  options of User rights distribution;
d. Has a high safety level of the data transfer.

3. Creating Applications Using Sharepoint

Process of web-application development using SharePoint is similar to the process of application development using more traditional means (i.e. PHP).  Nevertheless, product development stage goes much faster and as a result cheaper to the Client.
Simplified process of web-applications creation with the use of SharePoint can be given with the following set of actions:

- SharePoint deployment and web-site creation by default;
- After Windows SharePoint Services deployment the web-site is created by default;
- Web-sites collection for the application with a template is created by default;
- Then there is a creation of the necessary types, lists and user groups;
- User rights are defined for the lists. The full safety of User information is provided.
- Necessary application components (i.e. wikis, blogs, calendars, etc.) are added and set up.
- Web-site interface is setup per Client’s wishes.


Using the action sequence, our developers can shortly create  web-applications starting from Corporate web-sites to internet-portals with wide functionality.
Note: SharePoint is a powerful tool which enables creation of web-sites and a big number of applications that use.

DNN 5.4 Hosting :: DotNetNuke 5.4 Adds Support for .NET 4 and Document Management

clock May 14, 2010 11:54 by author Jervis

Getting Up to Speed with Microsoft

DotNetNuke 5.3 was only released at the end of March. That update included improved content administration through the addition of page level workflow, a new ribbon bar control panel and improved access to page editing.

But they had more work they needed to do. That included ensuring the DotNetNuke platform supported Microsoft's latest platform updates with .NET 4 As you probably know, DotNetNuke is built on ASP.NET, so it was important to ensure it would work with both .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.

As is normal course when testing compatibility with technology updates, there were a few issues, but these were resolved and DotNetNuke 5.4 was on its way to release. If it makes you happy, the issues were resolved through working with the Microsoft Web Platform team.

New Document Management

But support for .NET 4 isn't the only thing new in 5.4. Another major feature introduced to the professional and elite editions is document management. Prior to 5.4 DotNetNuke did not have any strong document management functionality. But according to Shawn Walker, co-founder of DotNetNuke, there were several third party modules available.

So DNN took a look at what was available on their Snowcovered Marketplace and decided to obtain the IP for one of those solutions. The one they chose came from Xepient and was called OpenDocumentLibrary.

Now the commercial editions have document management capabilities such as:
- WebDAV
- Check in / Check out, Versioning, Rollback
- Automatic synchronization with existing document libraries
- Workflow for documents
- Creation of document folders and permissions on folders
- Usage reporting

According to DNN 1 in 4 organizations using the platform use it for intranets or extranets and this functionality fits perfectly with those needs.

What’s in it for the Community

So the commercial editions picked up document management, but the community also got a few things as well:
Folksonomy: In 5.3 DNN taxonomy capabilities were added to the DNN core. In 5.4 the core now has Folksonomies — basically a crowdsourcing approach to tagging content. Because it's added to the core, all editions get the functionality. To make it sweeter, there's an associated API that will enable developers to add the functionality to their own DNN apps.

Ribbon Bar Control Panel: Remember that ribbon bar control panel added to the the commercial editions in 5.3? Well now it's also available in the community edition.

Telerik RAD Editor: The Community Edition also now has the Telerik rich text editor. This is a continuation of the OEM agreement with Telerik. DNN will still ship with the FCK Editor, which was the prior editor, but all new downloads of DNN will have the Telerik RAD editor as the default editor.

Navin Nagiah, CEO of DNN told us that they are committed to both the commercial and community editions of DotNetNuke. In order to strike a balance between the open source edition and the commercial editions, they always think about what they can give back to the community when they introduce new capabilities in the commercial editions.

The functionality they choose to move into the community edition is based on what the community is asking for and how they can make the experience as seamless as possible between their editions. And of course we have already seen that some functionality is added to the core automatically making it available to all editions.
