What is needed to get a eStore subdomain setup?

Here's a generic outline:

1) First, you'll want to make a backup of your site and database in case you run into problems.

2) Order the Unlimited Subdomain/SSL addon service through the DiscountASP.NET Control Panel:

Review this Knowledge Base article on how to order and install SSL:

3) Install nopCommerce through the Web App Gallery:

4) Review these links on redirection:

This is if you want to host both Content Management Systems on the same hosting account. It would actually be easier to open up a new hosting account to host nopCommerce separately as you will avoid setting conflicts in the web.config file, benefit from extra computer resources, and reduce/eliminate the amount of coding to perform a redirect.

The new version nopCommerce is more resource intensive, and I'm not sure how effectively it will run side-by-side with mojoPortal.

 

Hi Joe,

Yes, I think the newer version of nopCommerce should be hosted on a different account. You would probably be ok running an older version of nopCommerce simultaneous with mojoPortal though. This is just my opinion. You're more than welcome to try.
