I noticed that Host4ASP.NET is a hosting partner of Kentico. I went to their official site and found that this web host offers WebSitePanel. I have never used this control panel and I want to know how to install this Kentico in Host4ASP.NET WebSitePanel. Is it easy?

Hi Nina,

We do not know if this hosting partner has modified the Kentico installer or not. It would be worthy to ask their support as well - if it is different from the default Kentico installation or not.

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus
