I've experimented with Railo on Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk, connect that to an Amazon DB instance and you've got your distributed CF. Host images and other media in an Amazon EC3 bucket and you've got your CDN. Don't run one of their SQL Server Windows instances or you might as well just give Amazon your credit card, the rest you can probably get as part of the free tier so it shouldn't cost too much :)
