Or if your database was hacked, or your code stolen; I asked this question of hostingatoz today: Do you sandbox datasources and the filesystem too, as standard for all accounts? The response: No. This is not standard with the all the accounts. You need to request this, however, it is free. On 7/17/07, Rick Root [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't know how hostingatoz.com can possibly be legal with their software licensing. I mean seriously... $20 a year for a site powered by CF enterprise, with SQL Server Enterprise Edition? Even academic pricing on SQL Server Enterprise is EXPENSIVE. And the price of Coldfusion Enterprise is not cheap either. I don't think it's necessary to go with an expensive provider for your average web site, but I certainly wouldn't go to that level of cheap either unless you simply didn't care if the site was up or not. -- mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.

So...If you all can direct me to who you use, I will gladly look at them and give you the referal. I have sites hosted with CFDynamics (BACFUG), HostMySite (several), GoDaddy (TICA-MP) and CrystalTech (scazu). GoDaddy is exactly what you'd expect for a rack 'em high, sell 'em cheap service (i.e., useless unless you know exactly what you are doing and have fairly minimal needs). CFDynamics is new to me and I was not thrilled with how they handled the changeover from the previous UG manager to me, nor how they set up a DSN (or failed to). We'll see how they do long term. HostMySite has always been very good to me. I've used their shared Linux plan for a good long while and was very happy with it in general - and their support is excellent. I have a number of sites running there, mostly on shared hosting but a couple are on VPS. My site is now using their VPS CF Linux plan and that is really, really good. My site gets overrun with traffic every now and then - badly behaved spiders and heavy spam attacks - but it's easy to restart the VPS and be back in business (the traffic patterns are why they took me off the shared plan). CrystalTech is OK but I'm not exactly thrilled with them. They haven't screwed up but they're not stellar either. The Scazu site was on their semi-dedicated plan but it was slow and it was down more than I liked so we switched to a standard shared plan (much cheaper) and it's actually been better than the semi-dedicated plan. I've also had very good dealings with EDGE Web Hosting (so far just a bid process - but if their service post-purchase is even half as professional as their service pre-purchase, they'll be great to work with!). -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive. -- Margaret Atwood ~| CF 8 â Scorpio beta now available, easily build great internet experiences â Try it now on Labs http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_adobecf8_beta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:283802 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Time for another CF hosting site thread...
Peter... I'd suggest you contact some hosts directly. What they offer as a standard plan may not meet your needs, but given the nature of the site (providing a service to the blind), I would suspect that many would be inclined to offer you additional space over and above what's provided by default. Make some phone calls and/or shoot off some e-mails. See who's willing to help out, and then narrow it down from there. I'd like to think you'd be pleasantly surprised.

I'd go with hostmysite.com - they have the FEWEST tag restrictions of anyone that I'm aware of (ie, cfobject and cffile work out of the box).

Jabber (was: Time for another CF hosting site thread...)
Phillip, I'm not usually one to toot our own horn, but several of our customers use our VPS servers for VOIP solutions. I don't think any of them are using jabber specifically, but I know Ventrilo and Teamspeak run well on our VPS's. I'd imagine that Jabber would too. http://www.viviotech.net/hosting_vps.cfm Please feel free to check us out if you're needing to install a jabber server. ;) Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ BlueDragon Alliance Member [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phillip M.

Re: Time for another CF hosting site thread...
Personally, I'm suspicious of any hosting company that offers disk space in those amounts (500GB) for prices like $10/month. I know disk space is cheap.. but it ain't that cheap!

Re: Time for another CF hosting site thread...
I would just like to come back on this one - I've been hosting a site on hostingatoz for the past month. So far it has been down for a total of 16 hours. The first time for about 4, then after than for around 12 hours. The 99.9% up time is not real, neither is the 24 hour support. I hate to say this Charlie, but I think you get some preferential treatment because of you who you are. On the site that I have hosted there, it is under my girlfriend's name, so I think they care a lot less. Be wary of hostingatoz. If they continue being as unreliable as they have been in the past 4 weeks, I'll be seeking a new host.

Re: Time for another CF hosting site thread...
Bob - Dantor looks like it might be decent, a few quick questions (I'll contact them directly too) - Does it run cfmx7? it only seems to list 6.1 on the site? - can you run createObject? I see cfobject is disabled? (can that be turned on?) - What is their support response time like?

RE: Time for another CF hosting site thread...
Mark ... their response times have always been within an hour or so during regular business hours. As I said they're not terribly touchy feely, but I like them. There are 3 principals and all 3 are involved in what they do. They are Coldfusion developers as well as web hosts so they know the product. You won't get any automated responses from them, just answers to your questions toot sweet. My site is running 7,0,2,142559 and all the others I have hosted there. Drop them a line, I think you'll be surprised what they allow.

Re: Time for another CF hosting site thread...
I just wanted to throw in the following about hosts running CF7. They have absolutely no reason to disable cfobject fully. One of the little known tidbits of CF7 is that it introduced type specific sandboxing. What I mean by this is that you can now enable cfobject (and therefore createObject) for use with any combination of: CFC/Web Service/Java/COM. So your host can now safely disable Java/COM and let you play with CFCs and Web Services.

Re: Time for another CF hosting site thread...
I don't know how hostingatoz.com can possibly be legal with their software licensing. I mean seriously... $20 a year for a site powered by CF enterprise, with SQL Server Enterprise Edition? Even academic pricing on SQL Server Enterprise is EXPENSIVE. And the price of Coldfusion Enterprise is not cheap either. I don't think it's necessary to go with an expensive provider for your average web site, but I certainly wouldn't go to that level of cheap either unless you simply didn't care if the site was up or not.

I went with them, and frankly, for that price, I didn't care if my site is up or not (you know what I mean ;). It's always been up, whenever I've checked it (not often). Their support was excellent and fast. I'm planning on renewing my whatnot with them.
