Re: RES: [CFCDev] CF hosting provider?

[Matt Liotta]

Frankly, I don't see where people get these prices from. There are 
plenty of very good hosting companies offering dedicated servers for 
around $100 per month. Why pay $50 per month for shared hosting when 
you can get a server for $100?

this to
provide shared hosting to their own clients, I'm not sure if anyone is
offering it commercially to the public.

We can't afford co-location for the few sites we have on shared hosts
(although for the mission critical sites we do all our own hosting), 
but if
we had a CFMX4J2EE option we would jump at the chance.

You are correct in that regard except for one subtle point.
The shear
amount of overhead required to give each customer their own
instance of
CFMX on a J2EE server makes shared hosting unprofitable in
terms of the
normal shared hosting economics.

Just to break it down with numbers. Each CFMX instance is
supposed to
take about 30megs of RAM each. Since it is generally tough for an
application to use more than 1gig of RAM on a 32bit machine
that means
only about 30 people could be hosted on the same machine.
