ASP.NET Medium Trust

All of the ASP.NET Builder, ASP.NET Builder +, ColdFusion, and ColdFusion + hosting plans run in the ASP .Net in a medium trust environment. This is necessary to protect the server and data and is the Microsoft recommended trust level for Shared .NET hosting. Using medium trust will prevent applications from accessing shared resources and eliminates any application interference. We have enabled OleDb, ODBC, and MySQL connections as well as SQL Native Client connections by default.

In order to ensure that your application will run properly in this environment, there are tools to ensure that it is compatible with Medium Trust standards.

Permcalc.exe can be downloaded as part of the .NET 2.0 SDK and used to determine what trust level your application currently requires.

The medium trust level cannot be relaxed. If the code being used absolutely requires Full Trust to function properly two alternate choices would be the .NET Professional or one of our Cloud plans.
