# ASP.NET Hosting

Commercial ASP.NET hosting providers are virtually all using IIS and a web administration tool like [cPanel ](https://cpanel.net/)or [Plesk](https://www.plesk.com/). The deployment process is identical to a standard **IIS** deployment.

Locate the **httpdocs** or equivalent directory using the control panel, the follow the basic steps below:

* Create the application directory
* Create the **/bin** directory in the application's directory
* Copy all the assemblies from your local /bin to the server's **/bin** (no need to copy xml and pdb files)
* Copy the **/Themes** folder if you have custom themes or mixins
* Copy the **/Images** folder if you have images that need to be served as URLs
* Copy the **/App\_Data** folder if your application uses it
* Copy Web.config
* Copy Default.html (and other html files you use sub-applications)
* Copy Default.json (and other json configuration files if you use sub-applications)
* Copy favicon.ico.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the hosting provider supports IIS Publishing, you may use [Visual Studio to publish](/deployment/concepts/visual-studio-publishing.md) the web site directly to the hosting provider's system.
{% endhint %}

## Prerequisites

Wisej, like most ASP.NET applications, needs to run in Full Trust mode and needs write permissions to  the system's /temp directory. When using the web hosting control panel, locate the ASP.NET Settings section and set the **CAS trust level** to **Full**.

We tried over a dozen commercial ASP.NET providers with Wisej applications without any major issue.
