I have a quistion. My provider isn't a DNN provider. They are not formilliar with DNN and they don't know what to do to make it work.

They support ASP.Net and I can get an MSSQL database. Which permisions must they assign to my account? And must they make the folder where I will upload DNN an application folder?

You web host mainly needs to assist you in the permissions issue (depending on the host).  Once you put the DNN files in the directory that you want them in, your web host needs to make sure that the directory has Read/Write/Modify permissions for the "NETWORK SERVICE" account.  Then, they would also need to provide you with the information you need for the connection string to the SQL Server database.  Oh yeah...  Be sure that they have the correct version of the .Net Framework specified for your site.

Just as a side note, I would talk with the hosting provider to ensure that they assign permissions to the ASP.NET Worker Process for your site.  I know that many hosts configure IIS to use accounts other than network service...but in the end that is really the only thing that they have to do.
