You might want to move to a language such as PHP, Perl, (ick) ASP, etc.
Using CF, which is really meant to be an enterprise product and costs min.
$1.2k USD, might not be the solution. I realise it's often much more rapid
development and has a quicker learning curve overall, but PHP and Perl are
free, ASP is in the sense it can be hosted w/ chillisoft bypassing having to
pay for the OS... Server such as this have lower operating costs to begin w/
so can often offer much lower rates.
I'm almost sure to get flamed for suggesting something other than CF, but
it's all about the right tool for the job. If the site will be manageable
enough through your admin section then the need for someone unskilled to
edit the source won't occur frequently.
Just a though.

I have been having problems with them with my free account, and a friend of
mine that has a pay account with them can not get a hold of them either, no
matter how many emails

Subject: cfm-resources?
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone else was having problems with free accounts at
cfm-resources.com? First my password stopped working, and when I got no
response to repeated emails, I gave up and signed up for another account.
(Incidently, after a number of errors were thrown in the registration
scripts, I ended up with three accounts but that's a different story.)
Attempts to FTP in are successful after on average three or four timeouts.
Everytime I do actually manage to connect, it timeouts before I can upload
any files. The site itself takes ages to load and then I get server errors.
The cfm-resources control panel is not even up.
Now, before you tell me that you get what you pay for, I totally agree. I'm
developing a site for a non-profit organisation with next to zero funding,
which promotes science and technology career paths for high school students,
girls in particular. The aim is to create a site that they can update and
maintain themselves, thereby requiring no more funding for web work. My plan
being, if I can get the site running on the free hosting service, and they
see how great and easy it is and maybe interest some benefactors, I will get
them to move to one of the low cost hosting services. Hell, I was even
planning to pay for some of it myself. I'm not expecting great reliability
or speed out of a free service. But at the moment *I* can't even view the
site, and it's been like that all week.
What I would like to know is, what is the reliability like on their paid
accounts? I'd be reluctant to risk them after my experiences with the free
service. What are the other low cost hosting services out there like?
Sorry to bitch but this is driving me insane!
Kay.
