How can I store data (for example: Config file) in MVC without using Sql, when im using third-party class, when I have no access to the Server proparty?
I want the data to remain in a subdirectory of the website.

You could use any format you like for the files: XML, JSON, … whatever you feel comfortable with. There are serializers built directly into the framework which will allow you to directly serialize/deserialize your objects into those formats.
Just one thing to bare in mind if you decide to go that route: multithreading. Make sure that you properly synchronize the access to this file or you could get corrupted data if you have concurrent readers and writers. Think for example user A saving his settings (and thus writing to the file) while User B is reading his settings => you will end up with corruption. One technique to properly synchronize access to such shared resource is to use the ReaderWriterLockSlim class.
