Hi, The servers seem to be loacted at The Planet data center. http://theplanet.com/
one of the best DC's in US. the cost of running a server in US is far cheaper than in Aus .eg Win Std SPLA lic @ USD $10/month compared to AU$40-50/month in Aus hence you get alot cheaper pricing than you would see in Aus it doesnt always mean the webhost provides a bad servce just because the price is low..:) cheers Joel .ps DC's also offer discounted CF and SQL servers.. something you wont get here in Aus. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kym Kovan Sent: Thursday, 2 June 2005 10:24 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Australian Coldfusion Hosting / Ben Forta App. Hi Gareth, you wrote: > http://www.forta.com/cf/isp/ > > If you do a search on Australian providers that offer Coldfusion 7 there are two that when you go onto there website seem to stand out a bit.

I will be diplomatic about my comments about these companies as I am in the same business, hosting, if at a different level, but they are both Australian companies and both host out of Texas, USA, if traceroutes mean anything, so they are definitely not on ADSL pipes :-) The first, MationalConnect, ends up at http://sharedssl.info/ from the traceroute, and if you go to that link it looks interesting........... Just think of the cost of a server, the cost to put it in a datacentre with an Internet connection and then add the cost of the software licenses, you end up with a 4 figure sum _per month_ to cover. To get that back at $90 per annum means an awful lot of sites on one machine.......
