Re: CF 9 Hosting
FWIW, CFDynamics is very good. While the shared hosting is a bit more expensive (about $16 a month if you pay for a year), but you do get CF9, mySQL, or SQL Server and quite a few other tools and perks. Their support is rock solid to say the least. Very responsive and fast. Also they've been supporting CF since the days of CF5. regards, larry ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334067 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: CF 9 Hosting
KickAssVPS.com Nearly two years with them and zero down-time. Fast, responsive support. Been on CF9 for several months now. $100 per month... Rick I am also with Kickassvps and have never looked back. I pay $35/month for my own VPS box with unlimited websites. I run Railo and MySQL and people can not believe the speed of the sites. Have been with Crystaltech, HostMySite, Hostek and a few others. They were always slow, had down time and caused constant issues that needed attending to. But, since moving to KickassVps my sites have been running without problem or downtime for the last 6 months. I couldn't be happier. They have shared hosting plans too - but with the VPS price almost the same as shared hosting, it makes sense to go VPS. You can remote deskptop into your machine and do what ever you like. You won't look back. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333898 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CF 9 Hosting
I have a client who we just moved off of HostMySite. We had a VPS there and we learned there was no firewall device in front of it. Never knew that. A bit of a surprise. I have another client on CrystalTech and for the most part, their support has been great. I always get a response within the hour (any time of day) from someone who isn't just reading from a script and telling me to do things I said I already tried. System up-time has been just fine too. I have had one incident there though that left a bad taste in my mouth: We needed CrystalTech to do some work setting up a DSN from another machine. It wasn't working so the tech, without telling us, made some changes to our database config. Our site went down and he finally got things working again by restoring a day old database backup. Now we had data out of sync that we wanted to retain. My client paid me to do the tedious work to sync things back up. I also spent time with CT's support figuring out what went wrong when their tech finally admitted in writing that he had made the mistake. With that knowledge in hand, my client then asked CT to reimburse him for at least some of what he paid me to fix things and they refused. The galling thing was that the person there who refused (some VP) did so in a way that made it clear he was not even aware of all the facts, i.e. that it was their own mistake. I don't think my client ever resolved it with them but they aren't as great as he thought they once were. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333900 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CF 9 Hosting
I switched to HosTek cause of their CF9 hosting. And quite honestly... their support seems to be seriously lacking in over all knowledge. I have had issues since the get go. Their 'pre-packaged' packages never installed correctly, always had issues during install (well all of them did but maybe 1 and it wasn't a CF package). And those that I uploaded myself had the same problems. After they started looking into the problem it took them over 4 days to fix it. If you call it a fix. I researched the problem myself at the start, found the issue, tested it on my local box which confirmed the solution i found worked. I let them know that iwas a server setting on their end and even provided them with links as references to the issue and how to fix it. within 4 days I was contacted by 4 different tech people each time they needed to know what the problem was and then informed me we will fix it shortly and even though i gave them the answer and it was something they needed to do, the never once applied the fix. Instead they had to delete and do a custom install 3 different times cause nothing ever worked. Finally after telling them that i was about to cancel my service with them, they applied the fix and acted as if they found the problem after 4 days of working on the issue. The fix was about 5 mins to apply on my local box. Basically they told me that my rights were not setup correctly and that each time they will have to apply the fix manually. It shows they need to either retrain their techs or hire new ones with more understanding then just opening a book and reading. I'm researching the places that people have posted on this thread to find a new provider.It's sad since i was given great reviews about hostek but yet they've proven to be worse then godaddy on getting things fixed.

Re: CF 9 Hosting
I'll add my recommendation for KickAssVPS -- although I will also say that I maintain a client's dedicated server at Hosting.com/HostMySite, and the engineers there - one in particular - have been very helpful in tuning the JVM on that dedicated server. As far as KickAss goes, one of the things I like (in addition to the reliability) is that they have a couple of very handy tools: first, you can manage DNS through a web interface, so if you add a site, you can manage the DNS yourself, without having to put in a support request. Second, if you use their shared SQL Server service (which has also been very reliable), they have a web-based tool that lets you backup and restore databases on your own, downloading the backup if you want. They of course do their own SQL backups. But for instance, if you're moving a client to your VPS who has an existing SQL server database, you just ask KAVPS to create the new database instance. Then, when you're ready to move, you just get a backup of the existing database and do the restore yourself. I also find this functionality helpful for getting backups of production databases to periodically refresh the versions on my dev server. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333906 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: CF 9 Hosting
To quote the great Jedi Master himself, You probably won't find a 5 dollar a month hosting option for CF like you can with PHP. But basing your business on a host that charges as much as an imported beer is probably not a good idea. http://www.cfgears.com/index.cfm/2009/5/21/Best-ColdFusion-quote-EVER :) Thanks, Eric Cobb ECAR Technologies, LLC http://www.ecartech.com http://www.cfgears.com Kelly Matthews wrote: Actually while hostek's prices are great, the fact that they go down 2-3 times PER day is far too much for my client, which is why I'm looking to move.

Re: Re: CF 9 Hosting
I too have been with Crystaltech for years. Something you should have done if you had a tech talking like that is report it in the satisfaction survey they send out after every ticket is resolved. One thing I have learned is that *all* hosts, sooner or later, decrease in tech support quality. The trick is to find the one who declines the least, where that decline doesn't affect you because you put yourself in charge of the job.. Its helpful when you can do your own work and don't have to rely on anyone. Which brings me to my next point: Stop trying to get decent CF service on shared hosting. It only takes one moron writing bad CF code (and lets face it, CF has more than its fair share of those per capita, thanks to its shallow learning curve) to crush the life out of the server. Stop wasting your time swimming upstream. Drop the coin to get yourself a dedicated box and a CF license. Then only your own code - which is of course rock solid - is affecting the box. You have a high nut to make for the month, sure. But its peanuts compared to the profit you can make off of a dedicated box where you charge customers $20-$50 per month for hosting / email *and you get to keep all of that*. Same with things like secure certificates. 10 minutes worth of effort and $30 in actual expense. Bill it out any way you please. I jumped ship off of shared hosting years ago. Never looked back. -- -...@robertson-- Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333872 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Re: CF 9 Hosting
VPS on Viviotech is my favorite nowadays-- I highly recommend them. The pricing is good, and the service is scalable as your needs grow. My last 2 requests to support were after 2AM and both were responded to within an hour-- the first was in 10 minutes. (no kidding.. after 2AM EST) My client registered a domain and emailed me around 2AM, I updated the DNS records to point to Viviotech then sent a domain request to Viviotech support. I didn't even get an email back out to my client yet and Viviotech support responded back that the request was completed. The DSN was already resolved and serving files from the new domain on my VPS. Needless to say my client was very impressed with the speed that his domain came to life, as was I. The Viviotech VPS control panels are top notch, and you can almost anything you can think of, adding FTP clients/domains is a breeze. Addn: I also use CTEK for a few clients, but I too have heard that BS about CF and other stuff from them. They also told me that osCommerce and Gallery2 was bad and insecure. :\ I had to explain to them they need to keep their opinions to themselves, telling a client that any app or language that they use is bad or dying is only feeding the fire of their own demise. Especially someone like me, I use CFML and OsCommerce extensively (all PCI compliant too), my clients do millions of dollars in transactions on this software, and suddenly its bad? What exactly qualifies support staff to say this type of thing i'll never know, but I do know that CFML is awesome, anyone attempting to bash CFML looks comical to me. -- /Kevin Pepperman They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333873 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: CF 9 Hosting
Since all my competitors are being listed here, I feel its only fair that I should get a mention too. I have CF9Enterprise, with SQLServer2005, MySQL, PHP4 and PHP5, ASP, ASPX, unlimited email accounts, unlimited ftp accounts and lots more stuff too. The environment is shared hosting but nearly all the sites are coldfusion. Because nearly everyone using my system are coldfusion developers, we have optimised it for CF Developing. Few restrictions on tags, mappings etc. It's a bit of a risk but over more than 10 years now we have found it pays off. We have a lot of sites using us for development, staging or test environments while their production sites are on dedicated servers, because they can have their test sites set up identically to the way their production sites are set up. You can see the details at http://afpwebworks.com/hosting.When you look at that, bear in mind that the prices shown are Australian dollars. US dollar equivalent is about 25% lower, so hosting is from US$10 a month, depending on what you need.
