Hi all,
I have a non-profit site that I look after. It used to be all manually
updated HTML but they are looking at expanding it a bit and I'd like to
transfer some of the updating from myself to the committee members.
As they are not well-funded, at the moment I'm thinking of using frames,
hosting the CF elements of the site on CFM-Resources (the free account to
start with, although I would consider paying the one of the other options
myself later on if it was going to be more reliable) and the static
pages/framesets on their donated Australian university hosting space and
domain name. (The domain name is a subdomain of the university's and is
quite well known to their audience, so they can't change it or move it
elsewhere, before someone suggests that).
With regards to the database I have two options that I can see: use the
Access dsn that is part of the CFM-Resources account, or use MySQL which is
installed on the Linux web server at the Australian university. I'm not sure
if MySQL is actually all that much better than Access (the traffic on the
site is really low, about 10-15 visitors per day at the moment) or if
accessing a remote database would be too slow (and is it even possible?).
Does anyone forsee any major flaws in my master plan or have any
recommendations? Suggestions please!
Thanks,
Kay.
