Hi Adam.
My site is hosted by cfdyamics. They are pretty reasonable, CFMX7 with
SQL Server for about $16 a month if you pay for a year up front. While
the basic plan does some restrictions, (for a comparison see
http://www.cfdynamics.com/sharedhosting/sharedhosting_comparison.cfm)
they do allow you to use createObject. So such things as Java objects
are accessible. They are also pretty reasonable too only asking to see
the code for any custom tags and cfc's - I've never had any problems
with them rejecting any tag I needed to use.
In terms of support, they are very good. A couple of times when I 've
had some problems, they have been very responsive, and figured out the
solution very quickly.
regards,
larry

You're still going to want to deploy the CF_2CFMODULEd version on a shared
host, because you don't know what someone else has done to their copy of one
or more custom tags, and they might also have deployed the CF_ version as
well, which might throw your application.
It'll all be transparent as soon as the Plum Service is ready, which will
hopefully be in a couple of weeks.
As far as the shared hosting stuff, it all comes down to a balance between
competition and paranoia. I would imagine that a good shared host has
various different configurations, where the majority are on locked-down
boxes with lots of restrictions, but if a client needs more features than
the typical boxes offer then his application is moved to a box that allows
more at an understandably higher risk for need of support by the host. The
host is either willing to minimize and manage that addition risk by
partitioning such apps on a small number of "riskier" boxes, or his
competition is.
That's the way I see it, at least.
