Re: Spam management for forms handling
Hello Rob and everyone, Image captchas are undetectable by screen reading packages such as those used by the blind and loc out legitiment visitors. CFFormProtect is a far better alternative as it catches spammers in the background without requiring visitors to mess with captchas and locking out visitors that depend on assistive hardware and software for computer screen access.

You can see it at:http://www.appreciativeway.com/email.cfm?email=info It has worked perfectly for over 6 years without ever being changed. I essentially hate captcha's.

CF Developer Edition on a NAS Drive
Good afternoon everyone, Due to issues with several of our external USB drives we're hoping to purchass a NAS drive next month particularly before one of the external drives goes south on us. We're currently set on the Buffalo Link Station Quad which among other things comes with a built-in Web server. This component includes Apache, PHP, and MYSQL. In addition to addressing our file storage issues I'll finally have a local environment for developing and testing Web sites before they go live. I'll be curious to know if anyone uses ColdFusion on NAS drives particularly the Buffalo drives and how well does it work? If my understanding is correct I believe the developer edition is free. Any resources you can point me to for learning how to get CF installed and running on a NAS drive will also be appreciated. All the best.

ColdFusion Anthology Available On Blio
Hello everyone,
Yesterday I installed Blio on my laptop. Earlier this month Mary's
computer contracted the PCPerformance Virus and for all practical purposes
is dead! We'll be ordering her a new machine next Thursday as to clean the
virus would cost about as much as would be buying her a new computer. Se's
going to get a real humdinger of a rig that will serve her well for many
years. And yes the new machine will include virus protection. Don't get
online without it!
Sorry for the ramble but once Blio was up and running on my laptop I
browsed the Blio Bookstore and discovered a number of ColdFusion- related
books are available as are many titles dealing with other computer and
Internet languages, issues, you name it! Right now Blio is the only source
for many ColdFusion-related books that are accessible to the blind. If
anyone needs to find any ColdFusion titles in an accessible form Blio should
be your first stop. Their Web site is: http://www.blio.com
All the best.

We have one HP and two Dell machines here. The machine that was infected was a Dell desktop. This HP I use is rock solid. Mary has had a Gateway and a Dell both of which died an early death. The Gateway was fried several years ago due to an over-loaded surge protector. The virus killed the Dell. Here's hoping the next machine we get will withstand anything thrown at it and will last her for many years.

Speaking of Mura I went to www.houseoffusion.com to look up a Mura discussion list but discovered that the site is down. To be sure it wasn't a browser issue I tried accessing that site via two computers and got the same results. If someone can send me subscription information for a Mura discussion group I'll appreciate that very much.

Using CFInclude. on Pages Placed in Subfolders
Hello everyone, I just finished resurrecting a Web site belonging to one of the organizations we belong to. The site is running under CF9 Enterprise Edition. Because the site is very page and topic intensive I like to group related pages in subfolders under the root folder and in some cases place additional pages in subfolders under second-level subfolders. Enter the use of CFInclude. I was able to successfully load pages placed in second-level subfolders (Subfolders place directly under the root folder) without any trouble once the syntax was adjusted. For example CFInclude template=../menu.cfm or CFInclude template=../footer.cfm. This syntax caused the pages placed in the level II Subfolders to load without any problem but when I tried to access pages placed in third-level subfolders (http://www.website.com/folder1/folder2; I received a 500 Internal Server Error. Since we have a conference coming up next week I wrestled the content in the level II folders to the level 1 subfolders so everything worked correctly so the site would be live in time for the conference. Server-Side Include has a nice feature that the includes can be found and loaded on to pages served from any folder regardless of how deep they are from the Web root. All site pages contain !--#include virtual=/menu.shtml --which adds the site's navigation menu to all pages no matter in what folders they reside in the directory tree. My question then is how can I make CF behave the same way so the includes will be added to served pages no matter how deep they are stored from the root folder. If such a feature has yet to be added to CF I'll cast a vote for its inclusion in CF10. Otherwise is there a different syntax I should use to cause Cf to locate includes on pages located in all folders in the site's directory tree? Your assistance with this will be welcome. All the best.

Re: Using CFInclude. on Pages Placed in Subfolders
Hello Russ and everyone, We tried your suggestion. As long as the pages were in the same folder as the includes everyone was happy but when pages in subfolders called cfinclude template=includeme.cfm That's when we got the 500 Internal Server Errors. Dave Watts gave me great suggestions to try. I'll need to do some experimentation on my own to come up with the best solution for this situation. Thanks again.

Hello Maureen and everyone, The person in that picture is supposed to be a girl. I'm wondering if she sent me the wrong photo. We're both blind. She may have mislabeled the photo thinking it was her when in reality it's a guy as you say. Once I know what specific CSS issues need addressing I'll be fine-tuning the site's appearance. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've been trying to contact her to let her know that her Web site is back online but so far have been unsuccessful. I've had a long row to hoe with this site and the end is still not in view. On the up side this site is now running on my new VPS I secured through www.viviotech.net.

Windows VPS Management Without Control Panel
Hello everyone, Earlier this month I mentioned that I was looking for a VPS hosting company. The search has been narrowed down to two possibilities KickAssVPS.com and viviotech.net. KAVPS uses control panels that allow customers to control their VPS via a Web browser. If memory serves me right they use Cpanel for Linux VPS management and Virtuozzo for their Windows Virtual Private Server management. Both VPS management panels work with screen reading software. Viviotech.net uses Kloxo for managing their Linux VPS machine but at this time does not currently have a control panel for managing Windows VPS machines. My questions are for Those of you who have Windows VPS hosting through viviotech.net. How are you managing your Windows VPS without a full-blown control panel such as Virtuozzo? Would I need to use an SSH client in order to perform management tasks on a Windows VPS for which there is no interface panel? I'm very impressed with the folks at Viviotech.net. It's not every Web hosting company where the sales reps is the company's CFO and COO.They told me that they have several customers using Web Site Panel for managing their Web hosting and they would install it on my VPS as I told them it would work with my screen access system. Hence we're half way home. The World of VPS hosting is a new frontier for me so knowing how some of you manage the server itself without the aid of a Windows VPS control panel will help much in being able to figure out a solution for this part of the equasion so I can decide on a hosting company and begin building or in my case rebuilding my Web hosting business using ColdFusion 9.

Re: Open source ColdFusion forums

I'm curious if there is any interest in the development of an open source, ColdFusion-based forum application. The goal would be something comparable to vBulletin or PHPBB done in ColdFusion, done in open source style, completely free. It would seem that Ray's Galleon forums project is still alive and well, so with one open source forum application out in the wild I'm unsure if there is really need for another. So first, I want to be sure there would be interest in such a project; would the community welcome a second open source forum application in ColdFusion? Would anyone use it? Is there really a need for one? Is there some other category of software that I could invest time into that would be better served? I've been writing ColdFusion for over a decade, like many of you, and am interested in contributing back to the community.

Re: Windows VPS Management Without Control Panel
Hello Russ and everyone, Been there and checked it out. It works beautiful with my screen reader. Are you using it to managed hosted Web sites for controlling the VPS itself i.e. starting and stopping the VPS, rebooting the VPS, activating-deactivating services, etc? The Vivvio folks said they would install it on my VPS. This is what I meant by being half way home. What I was wanting to know is how does one manage their VPS without a panel for doing so. Pardon my ignorance everyone, This is my first journey in to this realm of Web hosting. Perhaps I should step back and learn how one manages one of these things in general before tackling the access side of things. Any information resources on the subject will be very much appreciated.

Hello again everyone, I'd be curious to hear about your experiences with www.KickAssVPS.com if any of you have a Virtual Private Server with them. I checked them out several times and like the fact that they offer ColdFusion 9 and use Paralells Helm Control Panel for site management and the Virtuozzo Control Panel for managing the server. Both products work very well with screen reading software. Being a screen reader user this is of importance to me. I have had the opportunity to use several Parallels products and found that they all work well with Jaws For Windows Version 12.0. Beyond this they seem to be a good company although I'm a little squeemish about there not being telephone tech support available. That's the impression I get from viewing their Web Site.

Host Department Issues
Good afternoon everyone, It's good to be back on this list and delving in to ColdFusion once more. I dropped out-of-sight due to a recent move but am glad to be back in the fold. I'm curious to know if any of you have Web sites hosted on http://www.hostdepartment.com and are experiencing the same madness I've been dealing with since they upgraded their H-Sphere CP to a newer version? I have a client's site hosted along with mine under their reseller plan. The client site was working properly prior to the CP upgrade. Now we're getting everything but our home pages. I've contacted their tech support. They told me they could view her site pages on their end but we can't get them to come up state-side. This is happening with various Web browsers on several computers in at least two sites, in two states, and on different ISPS. I had Time-Warner check to see if HD'S IP address was blocked but they told me it was not. HD currently offers CFMX. I'm using index.cfm as my default home page and checked to be sure all site files were in the proper folder on the server. For some reason they're server is failing to locate the correct default home page. HD's tech support has not been fourth-coming in telling me if there is anything I need to do within the plan or her account to set the correct default home page so it displays once more. If any of you want to see what's going on for yourselves here are the site links: URL: http://www.shellbells.net Direct URL to default home page: http://www.shellbells.net/index.cfm I was told to contact HD's server support but have yet to receive any answer from them. Mean while neither of us can view our Web sites. We're getting very frustrated and I am about to pull the plug and find another hosting company if they don't get the site working very soon. Right now I'm paying around $30.00 per month and want to stay in that range. I've been looking at various hosting providers and see I can get a reseller plan for about the same monthly price. Some of these include CF9 hosting. . If push comes to shove and I can get hosting that includes CF9 I guess I can't complain. I wanted to see if any of you are experiencing similar issues with Host Department since the January 22, 2011 CP upgrade and if you've found a fix for them. All the best.

CF-Based Content Management Systems
Good afternoon everyone, I just got off of the phone with a client that is considering using a content management system (CMS) to manage her Web site. The developer she hired to redesign her pages suggested using an Adobe product to insure that the CMS is robust and to be sure all features are accessible by disabled site visitors and managers. She also wishes to include a site blog as well. I believe there is CF blogging software and would appreciate some recommendations and sources for obtaining CF cms and blogging packages.

Re: reply form with human verification
Hello Bill and listers, Remember that those who use assistive technology wish to visit your site and participate in your forums as well. Currently these products such as screen reading software used by blind individuals like myself cannot read those images rendering them useless to us. Audio CAPTCHAS are one solution, but they still lock out those who are both blind and deaf. A word verification system is far better as the words or question visitors must answer to post their comments can be read both audibly and tactually allowing those in the blind community to have full access to your Web site. Keep in mind too that there is now at lease one Web site that can scan CAPTCHA images and read them to permit visitors to gain access to Web sites that use them. One of these is: http://www.captchakiller.com This has enabled us to bust CAPTCHAS, but it's still a convoluted and time-consuming process. Like you we simply want to get the information you share online or participate in your Web communities with a minimal amount of fuss and trouble. A verification method should be employed that permits you to protect sensitive content while not denying members of specific populations of our society the right to access them.

The idea is that the article will be posted, then readers can write comments, criticism, etc. of the article. Then, the next view of the article will show the comment. For the most part I have no problem figuring out how this would work except for two things: 1) How do we assure that only humans are responding? Many sites post an image with hard to read number/letter sequences and ask that you type in what you see. Is something like this necessary? If so, how do we generate the images, then verify the response? 2) How do we handle html in the response? Perhaps we only allow a limited subset of html, such as bold, italicize, and a few others? If so, what should be allowed? Does anyone know of examples where embedded html is validated?

ColdFusion 8 Reseller Hosting, control panels
Good evening everyone, I almost had a ColdFusion 8 reseller account established with gearhost.com. Being a screen reader user the words like, Custom Control Panel should have sent upp the red flags as custom software is often not accessible to screen reading software. All went well until I logged in to their control panel. A rude surprise awaited me once I was logged in as next to nothing could be done by one using adaptive technology. After attempting to find a solution with one of their tech support folks I decided to cancel the account due to the inaccessibility of their control panel with screen reading software. I told them to be sure my $200.00+ is credited back to my credit card, and that they work with screen reader users to ensure that the Cpanel and other custom packages they develop can be used independently by us. Since they're in Denver Colorado they have the resources and technical know-how of the Colorado Center for the Blind, located in Littleton, at their doorstep. They could work with the CCB to ensure that future upgrades to their Web interfaces are completely usable by the blind and others who use adaptive solutions for computer access. For your information the CCB'S URL is: http://www.cocenter.org Andy Matthews please don't take this ppersonally as your intentions were good. This is something you and others here have little or no knowledge of. Again thanks for the recommendation. This leaves me still in need of a Cf8 Reseller account with a usable control panel. Helm, Cpanel, and Plesk work well with screen readers. If any of you canpoint me to any CF8 hosts that use those three control panels that will be a big help. I'd like to be set up with a new ColdFusion 8 reseller account by the end of the month and have my $200.00+ back in my bank account. Again thanks for your assistance.

It will also allow the organization in question to carry on its business. Some of the variable names include the _character such as first_name. Is this a legal syntax in ColdFusion allowing me to use something like #first_name# to designate the variables in the form processor? Thanks for the help.

reseller accounts
Hello again everyone, Thanks for the answers on my question concerning the _character in fieldnames. I currently have a reseller account with a company based in the UK. While their service has been about average I'm not happy with the server response time and the lack of live tech support and having to pay by the British pound. Can you recommend a hosting company in the U.S. with affordable reseller accounts with abundent disk space, , and live tech support. Being from San Antonio I'm in Rack Space Country and would consider a VPS, but the services I've seen thus far are slightly beyond our budget. Perhaps I should check with them again as they're opening a new server and support center in the old Windsor Park Mall. If anyone has had experience with Rack Space please share them with me. I know they offer ColdFusion, but am not sure if CF 8 is available from them yet. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

CF Module for Pay-Pal integration

Blog CFC, PHP Equivalent
Hello again everyone, Sorry if this is slightly OT, but after exhausting all other lists to which such a post would go I figured I would send this inquiry here as folks on the other lists I'm on have never heard of Blog CFC let alone know if there is a similar blog module written in PHP. I have several sights on a server that does not support ColdFusion of any flavor, but that does support PHP 4 and 5. I'd like to know if there is a similar product to Blog CFC I could run on these Web Sites, and from where can I get it? As for my Blog CFC install we're getting there one file upload at a time.

We have VMWare running on a test server and installed a virtualized version of the application and everything works. Sporadically, we get a Connection Reset by Peers error, that I have been unable to track down and resolve. We have looked at both the CF server and IIS logs and can't find any errors. It seems like we are getting a network error, but I am not looking in the right place to find the error. Has anyone ever used Cold Fusion with VMWare? Any ideas why we would sporadically get a connection error? Many people are running CF on VMware, even in production environments. This doesn't look like an error specific to VMware, but virtual servers can have the same sort of problems as physical servers. Connection reset by peer typically indicates that the client is no longer listening for a response, which may happen if the response takes too long to get to the client. Are you using bridged networking, or NAT for your VMware server? I would expect there to be some performance overhead with NAT, although I haven't done any real testing to see if that's the case.

mysql and media servers

Re: Time for another CF hosting site thread...
Hello Charlie and listers, I'll join this thread. I'm finding that most ColdFusion Hosting companies while they offer support for many of CF's features they tend to be quite stingy on disk space. During the National Federation of the Blind Convention several weeks ago we established a new group called the National Federation of the Blind Living History Group. One initiative of this group is to digitize old recordings of past NFB events and place them on a Web site for members and other interested individuals to listen to or download to their hard drive, podcatcher, or whatever other device they have for offline listening and storage. I've seen some hosting companies who offer accounts with very generous amounts of disk space for a very cheap price; 500 GB to be exact. This would be more than enough to meet our needs for a good while, but they don't support ColdFusion. If anyone knows of CF hosting companies offering accounts with similar amounts of disk space who won't take us to the bank that would be wonderful! We have a service used to support a number of our affiliate Web sites and discussion lists, but it does not support ColdFusion. I tried running some CF code on that host, but didn't get as much as an invalid parser construct error. It simply ignored the CF code and displayed the page without executing anything. Our Sysop has been great about allotting us the disk space we need for our affiliate Web sites. A project of this nature would require us to have a large amount of space for file storage which we can manage ourselves and have under complete control of our group. Any suggestions for CF hosts that would meet our needs would be appreciated. I all ready use Yetihost for some of my CF accounts of paying customers, but even they are stingy on disk space not to mention having to pay by the British pound instead of the Yankee Dollar.

: Alt tag andNFB Convention
Good evening Sandra and everyone, As one who is blind and uses a screen reader for exactly that reason you're right on. I looked at the site and the tag Pete sent in his message. In so far as I know when using the alt attribute you must use a proper description. For example: img onmouseover=imgMain.src='photos/large/#rsGetDetails.pic1#'; src=photos/thumbs/#rsGetDetails.pic1# class=border name=thumbnail1 border=0 width=50 height=50 alt=Home / The screen reader sees this text and gives the link a proper name. Another way alt text is used is to describe images such as pictures. Example: img src=http://www.nfb.org/images/nfb_mfi.gif alt=National Federation of the Blind members surrounding the outdoor stage at Sentennial Park. Former United States Embassador Andrew Young Addresses the croud during the first-ever NFB March for Independence. / I hope these examples will enable you to create and use alt text correctly. By the way the event I described in my photo description alt text example above is slated to take place on the morning of July 3, 2007 in Atlanta Georgia during the 67th annual Convention of the National Federation of the Blind. Our convention will begin on June 29th and will conclude on Friday July 6th, 2007. It is being held at the Marriott Marquis in downtown Atlanta. I'm mentioning this here as among the many activities taking place throughout the week there will be seminars and demonstrations of the assistive technology used by blind computer users. There will also be an exhibit hall in the International Level in the Marriott where you can visit with vendors of these products and ask questions of their representatives to help you be better able to ensure your Web sites and applications can be used by persons with disabilities including the blind. A number of our special interest groups are also concerned with the use of access technology and ensuring that applications and Web sites are disabled-friendly. I'll post a list of these in a subsequent message in the hopes that those of you that can get away to spend some time at our convention will know when these activities are taking place. I'll only list computer and Internet-related meetings. Visits from the Web and application design community also helps us familliarize ourselves with new technologies being used to create these applications. This will go a long way to help us determine how best to design RIAS these technologies are used to build to ensure their usability by the blind and disabled. For example I'm one of only a few blind ColdFusion developers I know of. Not very many of us are acquainted with frameworks such as ColdSpring, Mach II, Model Glue, Flex, Spri, AJAX, etc. And let me knot forget Apollo. The discussions I've read and heard lead me to think that some very useful applications could be created with Apollo which could be made to work with screen readers. Anyway I wanted to let you all know about the convention in the event those of you who will be in Atlanta during the first week of July can visit with us if your schedules permit to learn how assistive technology works, and to get tips and tricks from end-users of your creations the blind themselves on how to ensure their accessibility for blind persons. For more information about the National Federation of the Blind and the up-coming National Convention please visit: http://www.nfb.org Here's hoping some of you can attend the convention and I, along with other blind individuals will get a chance to meet you in person. While I'm at it are there folks on here who are members of the Atlanta CFUG?I just visited their Web site to find out when the July meeting was held. Assuming it's held on a night when there's nothing going on there may be a few of us who might want to attend depending on the location in relation to the Marriott Marquis. I looked on their Web site and did not see a date listed for their July Meeting. If someone has that information please let me know so I can spread the word among our Webmasters and others who may want to attend to learn more about CF, and what it could do for our Web sites. I know that's more than I intended for this message, but I did want to alert you all to our convention to peak your interest in possibly coming to see assistive technology and see demonstrations of how it works. Let me quit for now to gather the list of events you may want to attend. All convention sessions including special interest seminars are open to the public. And best of all they're free.

Hello Curt and listers, Your site is great. I checked it out and found it very easy to navigate. While there I downloaded a few CF code snipids for use in several projects. If you used the CF Form Validation program others discussed here I did not have any trouble with filling out the new account form. In fact I doubt my screen reader even knew it was there. Does the site use AJAX? This too presented no problem. Until the screen reader developers create scripting to detect pages that use AJAX and read the changed text automatically one needs to arrow to the area that has changed and read the updated text. Over-all this is not a problem. Great job on your Web site. I'll check back often for new goodies and will upload some of my own. I downloaded the current date program but am looking for some CF code to include the current time as well. Does anyone have code that will allow me to display the time in the users time zone in addition to the date? When completed I want the lines to read: Today is, (Current date). The time is: (Current time). I'm also looking for a CF hit counter to include on the sites home pages. I used one a while back that required me to store the hits in a database.

Re: CF CAPTCHA - need help!
Hello Less and listers, I applaud your approach with this captia solution. As one who uses a screen reader to access applications and Web sites these captias are a real problem for those who must use this technology to gain access to secured areas of a Web site. The traditional, Copy the letters/numbers you see in to the field below captia effectively locks blind people out of areas of Web sites and computer applications where this type of captia is used. Having a captia that displays a text string that can be read by screen readers that asks a question and provides one with an edit field to write their answer would allow you to secure your forms and still make it possible for blind persons using screen reading software to gain full access to protected areas of your Web site. Since traditional captia information is presented as an OCR image these cannot be read by screen readers, but text strings can. If you're able to create a CF Captia I'd love to see the code myself and would consider using it on my Web sites as well. I'll be following this thread with interest.

Re: CF CAPTCHA - need help!
Good afternoon again everyone, If you can set it up to where it produces a string of straight text, and not text embedded within an image your captcha text/questions will then be readable by screen reading solutions. Some companies have implemented audio rendering of this text, but the audio is often a poor quality, and the site is inaccessible to those who are both blind and deaf or have severe hearing impairments. Doing this will also go a long way to ensuring that your Web sites are Section 508 Compliant.

Re: CF CAPTCHA - need help!
Hello Steven and listers, It certainly worked for me. The results appears below: Please correct these errors: You did not match the image text. Please try again. Wanting to give you the benefit of a doubt I gave it a shot. Because my screen reader could not read the text in the image I received the error message above and was unable to submit the form. This is exactly the kind of accessibility problem we have with captchas and screen readers. If one could read the text without it being included in an image the problem could be solved.

Coldfusion Installation, is local server needed?
Good afternoon everyone, I use Studio MX which includes Dreamweaver and Coldfusion for creating Web pages. I'm wondering if in order to install Coldfusion on my local machine if this is an add-on for Studio MX or Eclipse in the case of CFEclipse. My impression is that one first needs to install server software such as IIS, Appachi, or Blue Dragon for the Coldfusion module to run on one's machine used for site development. I currently create my pages locally and upload them to a remote server where they can be tested in the background prior to making them available to the public. Again my question is assuming I develop my pages in the manner described above can I install CF locally, or do I first need to install server software before installing CF? I hope this question makes sense. I received a version with Studio MX, but wasn't sure if I could have installed it when I installed Studio MX, or if I would first need to install IIS or another server program.

Re: Which version of vista plays well with CF7?

We Have a New Host
Hello again everyone, On Patty from Scotland's recommendation I purchased a Corvus Reseller Account from: http://www.yetihost.com I'm now looking forward to rebuilding our organization's Web site and being able to offer hosting to other affiliates and clients. By the way the Corvus Reseller Plan sells for 179 pounds and 95 Pence. This converts to $360.00 U.S. It's not a bad price considering that this account gives you a deasent amount of disk space and allows you to host up to 20 individual domains. And yes they offer CFMX 7 hosting. Now to begin developing new Cold Fusion Web sites. Thanks again for the hosting suggestions and recommendations. I'll have more questions in the coming days.

Introduction, Cheap Hosting
Good morning everyone, Let me first begin by introducing myself before asking for hosting recommendations based on my criteria. My name is Peter Donahue. My wife Mary and I live in San Antonio Texas where I do Web development for a non-profit organization and for several clients. My wife is a reservations agent for Marriott Hotels. This past weekend we celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary and I turned the big 50 yesterday! This proves that you're never too old to learn to program Web pages using any language including Cold Fusion. I had my first exposure to Cold Fusion in the fall of 2004 when I took an Internet Commerce Course at Northwest Vista College. Since then I built two CF Web sites one for the organization I referred to above, and the other for a lady in Nebraska. This insidentally leads me in to the second part of the message subject. The afore-mentioned Web sites were hosted by a company out of Florida. Without sufficient warning we received a notice advising us that the owners of this particular hosting company were closing up shop and that we would need to arrange for hosting with another provider. I paid for a years worth of hosting from this outfit. They never offered us a refund for the unused hosting period. They simply shut down their server, took our money and ran leaving me very little time to locate another host for my Web sites. As a result the lady in Nebrasca who paid top dollar for her account with this company decided to manage her own Web site. The organization whose site I'm responsible for maintaining has requested that I find another host and get their site back up and running. The previous hosting company charged us an annual fee of about $75.00. I have been searching for a new host for this Web site and for possibly several other new sites I want to create using CF, but have not found very many companies that meet our requirements for a reasonable price. I'm willing to spend $200.00 a year for CF 7 Hosting, the ability to host multiple domains on a single account and for several GB of disk space as our organization produces lots of audio and video content for the Web. I've found several hosting companies that offer a plan that would meet these requirements, but wanted to check here in case you know of other hosting companies that offer similar plans. Dedicated servers are kind of steep for me at this time given the loss of my paying client who could help carry the cost of a dedicated server. That is certainly an option for the future if I can secure enough cashflow to sustain the monthly charges for such hosting. I've looked at www.godaddy.com and don't believe they offer what I need in the way of a large amount of disk space. Your hosting recommendations will be very much appreciated. Let me conclude by apollogising if this request is somewhat OT. I'm just getting back in to working with CF and need to find suitable hosting so I can begin building CF sites once more. Thanks for your recommendations in advance.
