DotNetNuke (DNN) which is written in VB.NET and has been Gathering many Appreciations from a long time as it is Open Source i.e. Free of Licensing or any Charges with it’s Amazing features. As it has it’s own Content Management System, DNN has also gained some Criticisms i.e. it is said to have some Drawbacks. The Drawbacks are given below :

1. API Reference are unavailable and hence it causes problems to write a Documentation. Due to unavailability of API, the Documentations have to be written in Task Oriented form.

2. As DotNetNuke receives regular updates, the Latest versions are not compatible enough with the Previous one’s which a matter of Concern. However, this problem has been taken care of to a certain limit and with more versions to come in future.

3. Again, the same problem is with Modules of DNN. It is noticed by many that the Modules previously released were not as useful as they were advertised to be. However, the newer versions have been changed to perform and deliver as they are advertised.

4. If you have a website which is in a different language than English then you might get disappointed as Localization of Dynamic Content is not available which  is a really important feature for websites which are in a different language other than English.

It might be possible that inspite of these drawbacks you will choose DotNetNuke for yourself which is done by many and most of them do not consider this as a Bad Decision. If you have DotNetNuke on your Windows Dedicated Server Hosting and it’s working slow or you are facing some problems then the reason may be some of the below :

1. Firstly, you should make sure that you have checked the Size of DNN Eventlog.

2. Most probably, the problem is found here itself.

3. The reason for this is the fact that sometimes, there are a lot of activities stored or say present in it’s Eventlog.

4. Most of the website owners do not pay Attention to this and as a result they never remove them or say clear them.

5. As this is Neglected the Performance of DNN Application is not the same as it should be.

6. To solve this problem, you should clear these Logs or say Remove them once you login into the DNN host.

7. After you have Followed the above Step, you will surely Notice a Difference. If you do not then it is suggested that you should contact your Windows dedicated Server hosting provider if you are not finding any reason for the problem.
