What trust level for IIS does it require?

Hi, I want to ask if the cart can be used with other hosting services like godaddy or 1and1? Does it require full-trust on IIS or can it be used as medium trust app? Thanks

Re: What trust level for IIS does it require?

Unfortunately the answer is no. There are two key areas that do not fit into the medium trust. One is the data encryption. It requires DPAPI. The other is payment gateway software. I know cybersource .net api doesn't support medium trust.

Another thought, why would you want to run an e-commerce business on a shared server? There are plenty of critical data for e-commerce business that it's not wise to host on the shared server. The bottom line is to get a virtual dedicated server which I believe you can get one from around $30/mo via Godaddy.

Thanks for the answer, I appreciate it. I have been thinking about a VPS server, and now you have validated that approach so I may just go and get it.

I wouldn't lock myself into a VPS. I have an account at DiscountASP.net and they support Full Trust and WSE 3.0...all for $19.99 a month with a 300MB SQL DB. You do have options :)
