there is always bluedragon and postgre, I would rather use that than php, mysql.
If you have a site that big would you want it running on all free stuff? Would you take your bmw to some cheap mechanic that only used free tools or the new state of the art repair center? Did you fall for the dumb scam of "we don't charge any closing fees" when you bought your new home?

Price only becomes an issue when you talk about cf licensing. We'll have to get a CF license for each new CF web server we put up, and 1 MS SQL license for each DB server. This definitely makes the LAMP approach look more enticing, so what can I use to sway them toward CF? I know enterprise boasts being able to send over 1 million emails per hour. What other features does ColdFusion have that might make it seem better then LAMP? (Scalability, security, ease of maintenance, etc).

We are a CF/MS SQL shop, and the other company does LAMP > development (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl). The P in LAMP normally means PHP, not Perl. As others have indicated, the initial cost for your CF/MS SQL solution may be higher but ongoing maintenance should be cheaper. FWIW, I use SmarterLinux as my ISP (part of HostMySite) and they offer LAMP with CFMX for a very reasonable $15 / month (less if you go through a reseller I believe). If a shared host solution is an option, that might be a way for you to compete head on with the other LAMP company... -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://fusebox.org/ Got Gmail? -- I have 50, yes 50, invites to give away!
