You can pretty easily put 500 php web sites on a single box without too much trouble. You can't put 500 CF sites on a single box though. Plain and simple, the power we are afforded by Coldfusion prevents a hosting company from realistically putting any more than a fraction of the site that they can put on a standard php/html type server. Your average host that supports php gets a lot of static web sites. Your average host that supports CF probably gets a LOT more database intensive websites. The cost of hosting CF web sites is not necessarly related to the cost of the CF license. Sure, you fork out maybe $3000/year, or $250/month for a CF enterprise license. If you put 100 sites on a server, that's $2.50/month for the cost of the CF license. Really though, a server with 100 cf-powered web sites? I'm spoiled by my dedicated server with 15 web sites on it I guess =) Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
