Ryan,
I'm not very knowledgeable about Server issues, so I'm unsure what Trust levels are, except that it is security related. Maybe this FAQ on Kentico's
website hosting will help you determine if its the same as Shell access:
If you receive an error message like this:
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
...your web hosting provider may not be supporting full trust permissions for the hosted ASP.NET applications. You need to ask your provider for changing the configuration, moving the web website hosting on some other server or you may need to choose some other hosting provider. You can choose from our web hosting partners whose servers are compatible with Kentico CMS.
Is Full Trust the same as Shell access?
In Kentico's list of hosting partners, there is only one UK host included (so far), but they only support Kentico on a
dedicated server. But the
website hosting will be low traffic and the charity can't afford dedicated hosting fees.
For this project, I've put the cart before the horse, so to speak! I should have considered this issue at the start of the project, before even choosing Kentico, but I only became aware of it yesterday, after reading the above FAQ - and now the development is almost complete and ready for hosting, so too late to switch to another CMS (like DNN).
