In this video tutorial we demonstrate working with Portal Aliases in DotNetNuke.

Portal Alias is a very useful function in DotNetNuke. It allows you to point multiple domain names to the same portal.

You can take advantage of the Portal Alias function when transferring a live DotNetNuke website to a localhost installation or vice versa, making it easy to test any changes to your website.

Portal Alias can also be used to convert a child portal into a parent portal with a unique domain name.

All of these elements are explained step by step.
