Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting servers support a wide range of web scripting languages and technologies. We offer dedicated Windows and UNIX based servers, plus our specialized "Hybrid" hosting platform which allows for the integration of both technologies together.

Using ASP/ASP.NET

Primus now provides the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework on our latest hosting servers. The framework has been installed and thoroughly tested for use in the shared Primus hosting environment. In order to ensure server system availability and stability, we have defined a trust level for the use of ASP.NET 2.0 applications that will restrict certain features of the framework. This will ensure that the resources on our systems are distributed as evenly as possible and that no single application has a negative effect on the other applications or on the whole system.

The trust level implemented is the base Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 "Medium Trust". We also allow connectivity to a Microsoft Access database via ODBC or OLEDB. Some of the main restrictions of this trust level include preventing the application from accessing the registry or accessing files outside a user's home directory. The execution of so-called "unmanaged code" (i.e. code that is not administrated by the .NET framework and which carries out its own storage administration) is not permitted.

Some other restrictions that are in effect in this trust level are:

1. Access to the .NET Framework isolated storage
2. Use of system printers
3. Control of security relavant infrastructure like ControlAppDomain, ControlEvidence, RemotingConfiguration, UnmanagedCode and others
4. Access to the registry
5. Access to confidential environment variables
6. Create or open network sockets
7. Access to the system event log
8. Access to system performance counters
