Custom COM/DCOM Objects

We can register 3rd party or custom components by special request. Since certain components can cause major security and stability problems on our servers, they must all be approved prior to installation.

To request for a component to be registered, please send an email to support@HostingCentral.com with your account information and specific details about the component. If we approve the component, we will install it in MTS or with regsvr32.exe. If we are installing a custom component, it should be fully debugged and tested before it is submitted to us. If any component is found to compromise the system, it will be removed. There is a $25 setup fee for each registration and you must be on Plan 2 or above. The component must not be in a setup package. We will not run setup programs on our servers in order to install components due to the fact that they sometimes overwrite newer DLL's.
Please allow 1 to 2 weeks for registering components.
