Question

I have recently started using a shared-host for my clients so see project progress or to play with a new technology for myself. I seems like every time I deploy a new project that runs fine locally, I run into something new on the shared-host.

Do you have a shared hosting deployment checklist?

What are the common problems you run into when deploying to a shared host?

Answer 1

Medium Trust. If you are developing code to go into a shared host, you should set your local application to run in medium trust otherwise you can almost guarantee you’ll get security issues with code that executes fine in full trust but dies in a medium trust environment.

This MSDN article explains about medium trust in more detail:
