Hi,

I am new to DNN and would like to install it on my website.  I have used this host for many years on another site and would prefer to remain with them. 

Amongst other things, these are some of the features I will have access to (I'm signing up with the pro account):

Operating System	Linux or Windows
FTP Accounts	1
Load Balancing
Daily Backups
PHP, CGI, Perl	With Linux
ASP, SHTML, ASP.NET	With Windows
MySQL Database	With Linux
Microsoft Access	With Windows
MS SQL	With Windows

Is this enough to install and run DNN?

Some documents relating to installation of DNN are mentioning the need for IIS 6 or 7.  Is this required?  If this is not enough what are my host's requirements to run DNN?

Many thanks,

Dunky

Thanks jascht,

Just to clarify is IIS required or not?

I emailed my host asking if they would install DNN for me or atleast whether their servers would accept DNN, here is the reply:

"Your current hosting package does not support a full ASP.NET feature. You would need to upgrade to our Pro Website Hosting (NT platform) which includes MSSQL db. "

This is not a problem, just a bit more money - so now as aforementioned I have access to ASP.NET and MSSQL 2005 (I think its 2005!).  Next...

"Is there a way you can provide us with the requirement to run this software and a component tester so we can test the compatibility before finalize the answer for you?"

I have no idea?  Does DNN have some kind of component tester?  And what are the actual requirements?  Is that just the ASP.NET, MSSQL, and (maybe) IIS ??

Many thanks,

Actually for cracks not necessarily - install XSP and Mono - but how ever for me it's only a "academically" question.
