dll's and webhosting limitations

[Robert Blackwell]

What's ths scoop with dlls and webhosting.

My current host doesnt really say much. Just that Register COM / DLL are
supported.
This other hosting company I'm looking at says Custom DLL Components are
supported but only upto 3 on their "best" plan.
Are "Register COM / DLL" the same thing as "Custom DLL Components"?

I have an amazon.com referral web app built in C# and asp.net and it has 3
dll's, so does that mean I'll be at my quota already or are there different
ways dll's are used...like do they need to be installed or something and
that's why there'd be a limit? I'm hoping that's not the case cause I need
new hosting but I don't want to switch to these other guys if I'll use up my
quota just by moving in.

You don't have to register dlls in .NET. Just put them in the bin dir and
you'll be fine. So if the host supports .NET I don't see a reason why
anything wouldn't work. At least I've never encountered situations where it
was needed so I'm quite sure

registering dll's is necessary when you use Com+ objects for example under
ASP.

I guess both providers are speaking abour COM components (or eventually
they can extend it to a GAC registered assemblies). As your assemblies
are part of your web app, I don't think there is limitation.

P.S. as I may be wrong, it's easier to ask them

Okay, so the limitation of only 3 would probably be registerred dll's only
then right?

Thanks
