re: Looking for a CF 8 host
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I'll give some of them a try. Probably CrystalTech for starters, since they've got a $16 plan. ...lars ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Looking for a CF 8 host
If you've got enough clients to justify it, you could get a CF8 VPS. I believe prices range from $35/mo to $75/mo (depending on various factors). Even if it cost you $75 a month, and you had 5 clients, you'd break even if you charged each $15/month. And for all intents and purposes, it's your own server. FWIW, I've heard good things about kickass VPS. http://kickassvps.com/services/windows_vps/plans.php On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 10:23 AM, Larry Soo l...@bc4x4.com wrote: Well, it's been a long time since I've participated on this list...I'm still using CF 6.1 MX.

RE: Looking for a CF 8 host
Get yourself and VPS at www.KickAssVPS.com and host all you want on the VPS. I got mine for $100 per month, including CF8. I traded off some of the things I didn't want on the VPS for a lower price than stated. No downtime and great support now for about 2 years.

Re: Looking for a CF 8 host
Go talk to the folks at Vivio Tech: http://www.viviotech.net They offer Adobe CF, Open BD and Railo on Linux or Windows. Jordan Michaels is on the Open Blue Dragon committee and helps out with the Railo community a great deal, including creating installers that they provide free to the community. I think that their VPS's start at around $20 a month but you might be able to work something out with them. You could also run a VPS that was a bit beefier and run more than one client on your VPS, thereby decreasing the per-client cost (or just putting more money in your pocket). Depends on how much traffic/resources they consume. If you want a host that really knows Coldfusion well, definitely give them a call.
