Well here's a little snippet for you. Sandboxes do bugger all for protecting use of createobject and CFOBJECT. With these enabled any users on the server can delete your DSN's, verity collections or anything else setup in the CFADMIN. They can query your DSN from the registry and access your database, plus run various system components without restriction and use java reflection methods to do just about anything java allows.
So you have just advertised that Hostmysite,.com open this particular security hole unknowingly, and proved that you thought it was great because you also had no idea of this issue and are relying on their knowledge. Which is exactly what I said happens below. So as for your statement that it's all Rubbish and crap, I think you have just proved the point. Perhaps it might be a better idea to make sure your not talking rubbish next time you make a hot-headed reply.
