There are no professional CF hosting in Turkey :( So we always need to buy CF to host our projects which should be hosted at different geographical locations. We're using similar approach for most projects, because we generally solve all of the problems of the projects (providing hosting, maintenance, security, content contribution solutions for years). Sometimes our customers wants to host the site their own servers which requires a separate ColdFusion license. These conditions force us to shift other technologies, so maybe I cannot see the future of CF properly due to these conditions. Its popularity is different in Turkey.
Finally, we have some plans for next year to setup a small CF hosting company in Turkey :) (Any suggestions to setup a CF hosting company are welcome) This will help us to continue with CF.
