Three types of portals are available on Salesforce.com:
Customer portal: It enables us to utilize the capabilities of the web as the ideal channel to deliver superior self-service.
Partner portal: It allows partner users to log in to Salesforce via a separate website than that is used by non-partner users.
Self-service portal: Customers will be able to search for details about the organization using this portal.
