DotNetNuke is the leading Web Content Management Platform for Microsoft .NET. Our open platform allows you to quickly, inexpensively change the appearance or functionality of your web site by installing software add-ons. More than 8,000 third-party add-ons are available through our Snowcovered.com online marketplace, free add-ons are available in the standard install package or from the DotNetNuke Forge, and the open API enables you to create your own custom add-ons.

The open platform allows DotNetNuke to function as both a content management system (CMS) and application development framework. DotNetNuke allows your organization to leverage your existing Microsoft investments to create rich, highly interactive web sites and web applications.

The DotNetNuke Professional Edition includes features which are not available in the free Community Edition. The additional features ensure success for organizations running critical web sites and web applications. Built on the same open source core as the Community Edition, which powers over 600,000 web sites worldwide, the Professional Edition provides the features and services you expect from a proprietary solution including:
  • A tested and verified version of the Professional Edition content management system (CMS) including the DotNetNuke open source core framework
  • Unique product features not available in the Community Edition
  • Full product documentation
  • Email notifications of security patches and product updates
  • Access to the Professional Edition online Knowledge Base
  • Unlimited online and email product support with second level support from DotNetNuke Corp architects and engineers (phone support over a wider time window is available with Elite Support)

The Professional Edition is very easy to use. You edit and manage the site through a standard web browser. Content contributors can learn to create and edit web pages in minutes and control site content and appearance without IT assistance.

The DotNetNuke framework is highly scalable with web caching capabilities that enable massive scalability. And the platform is highly cost effective with users reporting creating web sites in DotNetNuke 600% faster than developing their web site directly in ASP.NET.
DotNetNuke Corp. is committed to maintaining an extensible open source core shared by the Community and Professional Editions. The Professional or Enterprise extra Extensions to the core provide a wide variety of product features in five categories: modules, skins, skin objects, widgets, and providers.

Some extensions provide the same functionality to both the Community and Professional Editions. DotNetNuke Corp. also develops extensions which provide functionality only in the Professional Edition. External Third Party Modules can also be applied or developed for both Community or Professional Editions built on the unified DotNetNuke Architecture in C# or VB.net.

Here we have tried to explain the Professional only functionalities beyond and above the Open Source Community Edition of DotNetNuke.
