I wouldn't trust Ben's list, it's forever out of date as the ISP's have to update it themselves, there's a reference to a list of Australian CF ISP's that was posted on CFAussie on a couple of occasions recently.
crystaltech/hostmysite plans are mighty attractive if you don't mind the latency or legal(eg spam/<13/terrorism) ramifications of having a server in the US. --- Kym said, "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......." As far as setting up your own box... I somewhat agree, but you have to be smart with your hardware. Actually you can buy and set up a co-lo box in Australia for quite a lot less than you think. My quick sums put it at around $600/month + co-lo charges = ~$800/month including onsite backup and a whole bunch of other features. (including 1RU server/win2003/mailenable/serv-u/sql2k/backup/2G bandwidth/nod32 anti-virus). (That's in the first year, year two is a lot less ~$250/month) If you use the ISV windows/sql licencing and lease the box even less, maybe even aroudn $500/month. So $800/month = two of my clients per month... My other advice "Value added services" Regards, Christopher Dawes -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joel Nath Sent: Thursday, 2 June 2005 10:58 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Australian Coldfusion Hosting / Ben Forta App. 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.......
