My shared server is constantly going down, so I wrote to my hosting company, and this is the answer they gave me. Now, I'm no CF expert or anything, but doesn't this answer seem like a bunch of BS? I've left the name out of it, as I'm not here to slander anyone, but I will say that this is a large, reputable company that is hosting my site(s).
Dear Ray, We have restarted your Shared Server. Unfortunately ColdFusion is not very stable in shared environment and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it except to restart it when it crashes. There is no way to make ColdFusion servers more reliable then they are now. At least none of our experiments with ColdFusion allowed us to improve reliability considerably. The main problem is that all customers' scripts are running in a single process and a single customer with faulty scripts can keep shutting down the server. Moving the customer from server to server will not help as this problem is exhibited by all ColdFusion servers. We have automatic server monitoring in place that restarts Cold Fusion whenever it crashes. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance or you have any other questions.
