asp.net applications. Deploy on GAC or bin?

[Skipion]

I am planning to host more than one site on a VPS I have just purchased.
I have some third party asp.net controls (DevExpress) that are commonly used by most of my applications.
As fas as security and resource consumption is concerned, should I prefer a GAC installation or xcopy to bin of each application?

Thank you

Hello,

Yes, you can install any third party application based on ASP.NET on your VPS.

You can use xcopy, we have used it on most of the VPSes.

Let us know if you need any further assistance, we would be glad to assist you.

Let me rephrase the question.

Installing in Global Assembly Cache seems to offer only benefits (lower disk space, faster initial load).
If I had a dedicated server, I would't ask. I would install in GAC.
But, since this is the first time I use a VPS, I wonder if there are downsides related to the nature of VPS, that I am not aware of.

Thanks again.

There are absolutely no problems with installing the DLLs in the GAC. No performance related issues have been noticed so far from any of our VPS clients. Having those assemblies/DLLs copied to the BIN folder of each application would be another quick way of accessing them through that particular application. We've clients using either methods without any problems Please feel free to ask any further questions/doubts..
