You need to consult the hosting service provider for clarification.

If you own the server yourself, you can feel free to install .NET Framework 1.1 and configure it,

But we have no idea if this is a .NET app or not. – i_am_jorf Apr 28 '10 at 05:53

You will definitely need to test your application on the target platform. Without testing, you won't know for sure.
