Hi,Let me know if you have declared ModSecurity enabled="false" in your web.config file.
Also it could be an issue from your hoisting company, it might be possible if they have not configured it properly.

Hi...I have asked the hosting company to check as this was first thing i did because the same thing is working on other hosting company.

I just wanted to know whether is there any setting or configuration which needs to be done at web.config level
