Hosting is very important to a ColdFusion discussion. Without it, there would be no ColdFusion.
I just got a reply from accounting at The Planet from what happened almost two weeks ago at the planet. They are claiming it was during the maintenance window and are not standing by their 100% uptime SLA. I have informed them that 3-8:00 PM is not the maintenance window. Also, they claim to not have one point of failure by using redundant connections and power. If this was true, they wouldn't never be down as not one router would be directing traffic to your cage. So apparently this was a lie. They also say you need proof of down time. I have had multiple support tickets closed in the last month by their technicians with my ping and tracert's in them. However, accounting says you have to report to them in 10 days. I have my proof turned into them and they have it, yet they will not stick to their SLA. Therefore I would say that they are not an honest company and do not honor their contracts. I have given them what they wanted in the time period they asked for and they will still not honor their SLA. I have a contract with them and they are not honoring it. If your at the Planet, I suggest you leave as soon as possible, as they can turn off your connection to the internet and refuse to pay, no matter if you send them proof or not. Their people keep the stance that you do not have proof. Then when you give them proof, they do nothing still. They did however close this ticket with my ping and tracert's in them. I'm sure this planned maintenance was planned, an hour after it happened they sent an email to each other and agreed it was planned. They also say I'm in a contract and cannot leave. I'm gathering people for a class action lawsuit against the Planet for failing to uphold their contracts. If your interested, please email me off list. We cannot allow people to rip us off. Promise something, then not stick to it. I'm done and calling a lawyer. Jacob Jacob Cameron Blue Lantern, Inc.

When any type of website is completed and sub-mitted to the 20 major search engines (google,-yahoo,etc.) where each individual inhouse search engine dept. will review that website content using their own inhouse standards, ranging anywhere from 15 to 30 checkpoint standards (sex,violence,etc.) are used to establish this coding. Think of this webcoding as an movie rating system currently used at the movies. Based upon this inhouse process, then several coding # are assigned and attached within that particular website identify tags and other related taging areas. At this point, that particular website is then hosted and "goes live". Pleae bear in mind that it takes anywhere between 4 to 6 months for any newly released website to generate any desent public traffic to that particular website. Sorry for the length backgroud, but I wanted to be sure that you were aware of the frontend coding process already in usage. When designing this CF content scanning idea, couldn't someone design the program to fit within the allready existing pipeline submitting process? This program could be either an software or server side application uage. I have also noted some additional features that you might want to include also; Develop an unified set of standards for reviewing and coding each website content within the US market only. Develop an unified set of in house enforcement polices and procedures with regards to denial of access or services within the US market only. Develop an unified set of "key words or phrases" in various languages for standards practices within the US market only. Develop an unified set of "picture or video actions" in various languages for standards practices within the US market only. Their are currently several companies that are development this type of software packages, an few will be available by next summer according to several net/web postings. I have even hear that an beta verious is currently being tested from India of all places, go figure. joe --- Ken Ferguson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'd honestly like to hear peoples' ideas on the value of the type of > application in question and how they'd go about building it.
