Hello,

When planning to host an event portal in D365 Marketing, you have a few options to choose from, as for instance to hoste the portal yourself.

The actual question is, are there any additional costs involved when setting up an event portal ? Be it hosted by yourself or not?

Thank you for your support!

Hello Clofly,

Thank you for your quick response! So, having the correct subscription is key. The customer is implementing D365 Marketing as a base (tenant license) and has added Sales Pro and Business Central. So that basically should cover what he needs to implement Portals and event websites.

Hi Adriaan,

There are no additional costs:

-> if you already had a portal(it is based on your subscription plan) and bind event website to it.

-> hosting event website by yourself.

In a word, we won't need to cost when deploying event website to portal.

You could take comparison between portal-hosted and self-hosted as reference in link below:

And summary in this article would be also helpful:

To summarize, Portals shouldn’t be seen as an additional cost being pushed your way. Instead, they should be seen as a great tool for mitigating risk and reducing development fees. Assuming you have the qualifying subscription, you currently have access to Portals and should leverage them where possible. I highly recommend organizations that if nothing else, organizations use Portals in conjuction with their website as an employee-facing engagement tool.
