Cranking out code

This blog is hosted by Surftown which is a cheap and pretty decent shared web host. I've been looking for some sort of CMS to do simple web sites, I've had requests from a few of my friends if I could help them set up a web site. Sure, no problem. However, I'm looking for something that could be sort of a framework I could build all these sites on, which I could customize to fit my needs. I started looking at Umbraco (www.umbraco.org) which looks really good, but unfortunately does not work with medium trust. Found Cuyahoga(http://www.cuyahoga-project.org/) which also was very promising but with the same problem, no support under medium trust...

With the simple requirements I have it's more or less no point to look and evaluate another CMS, I could just as easily build one myself. While building it I could use some ASP.NET MVC which I really enjoy and hope to dig into a bit more. But, a few questions remained. Does Surftown support .NET 3.5? Does ASP.NET MVC need full trust? I was pretty sure ASP.NET MVC didn't need full trust to operate. But would it work on Surftown?

I created the sample project in Visual Studio 2008 and published my site to a subdomain to see if it worked. The first I received was the 404 not found when browsing /Home. Fair enough, changed the route to be /Home.aspx instead. It looks like ASP.NET but atleast you'll know it's not the traditional ASP.NET. Voilá, it worked. Best news I've had all day, now to do a simple CMS... how hard could it be?
