Best ColdFusion 7 Hosting company

Hi: I need a Cf7 hosting. What is the best? thanks benign

Well everyone will chime in on various hostings, but if I recall Ben Forta has a list of CF Hostings with some ratings: http://www.forta.com/cf/isp/ Hi: I need a Cf7 hosting. What is the best? thanks benign

Yes. i tried to use it but couldn't find what I need. I need a shared CF7.0.2 hosting with at least 100MB space with the price less than 200USD/1year. Do you know one? I need it to be reliable. Thanks Benign

I use expertHost.com they have provided an excellent service. HTH Jose Diaz ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

I use Daily Razor.  Coldfusion plans starting at $5.95 a month. I haven't had any problems with it. I use expertHost.com they have provided an excellent service.

Daily Razor provides CF7.0.2? Does it support custom tags? Thanks Benign

Do they support custom tag? thanks benign

>Do they support custom tag? >thanks >benign Try this hosting company. They are really good, always updating and have good pricing plans and support. I host several sites through them. Link: http://www.crystaltech.com/ Thank you, Adam

I'll second CT.  Great customer service, reliability, etc.  For a shared host, they have been the best out of the half dozen I've tried out. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- good ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

+1 I wish more storage space was available for the price, but not enough to move. (I am thinking about hosting elsewhere, like godaddy for $3.19/mo for 5GB of space, just for media/image files) ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Is Crystal Tech coldfusion services on Windows server or Linux? Thanks Benign

I use xtreme-host.com.  I have used custom tags in my applications that I have hosted there and they support CFMX 7.

I use ViUX, I have six sites with them. There just recently restructured their plans a bit, so I am not entirely familiar with the new plans. However, they have both Windows and Linux servers. There support has been awesome and quick, when needed which is not much. Lots of features and lots of control, more than on any other shared plan that I have seen. http://hosting.viux.com/services/shared/shared-plans.asp >Hi: I need a Cf7 hosting.

Just don't use Vortech. Damn awful. Jenny Hi: I need a Cf7 hosting. What is the best? thanks benign

>Hi: I need a Cf7 hosting. What is the best? >thanks >benign You might want to look at:  http://www.sozohosting.com/ Personally I have not used this company yet, but I'm thinking of switching to them.  A fellow CF Developer that I work with uses this company and he is very happy with them. The company that I currently use and I have been with them for over 5 years is http://www.gearhost.com/.  This company stays up to date with the technology and there uptime is good, but if you need to get a hold of them on the phone it is hit or miss.

I am now down to Three Hosting Companies. Please help me choose one. Crystal Tech ( http://www.crystaltech.com ) Looks very great. But the only problem is when you choose Coldfusion you have only coldfusion and if one part is in ASP you don't have ASP support. Ben Forta gave it 4/5. Good rating! Viux ( http://hosting.viux.com ) Looks good but not famous as Crystal Tech while its prices are lower than Crystal Tech. Ben Forta didn't give it any star! Xtreme-host ( http://xtreme-host.com/ ) Very nice website but just one person recommended it plus I couldn't find it in Ben Forta's lis at http://www.forta.com/cf/isp/. It has 100MB hosting too and it is great cause finding a low space CF hosting with such a low price is very hard. Please help me find out which one IS the best. It is very critical and as you know maintenance, stability and FAST CUSTOMER SUPPORT are very important for a hosting. In your experiences which one was good enough and which one was not. Thanks Benign

I used to use this host for my blog and cfquickdocs.  My general consensus, you get what you pay for.  90% of the time it was fine, very little problems.  But the rest of the time my sites were down with 0 explanation from the guy that runs it.  And yes, it appeared that the whole thing is run by one guy.  He seemed to try hard to offer good support, but a few times the site was down for a few hours and he was no where to be found.  Later he'd fixed it, and only offer an apology with no explanation, and no coupons to cover the down time.  All that said, it's DANG cheap, so if that's what you need, and you can deal with 90% uptime, I'd say go for it.  You might get lucky and never have any problems.  :) By the way, we all love Ben, but I'd not take his list as a good source of host ratings.  Use it as a tool to find hosts, but personally I didn't take the ratings very seriously.  If I ran a large hosting company, I could submit my company and then ask all my employees to go give us a good rating.  I don't know how I'd do the list differently, but it has it's problems. -------------- "EMF <idahopower.com>" made the following annotations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Thanks Munson. Very helpful answer. It seems as a cheap server it works fine. But infact I will need more than one shared hosting in the future and I prefer them to be from one company and 90% won't be enough for some of them. Any opinion about the other two? Crystal Tech vs Viux? Which one do you choose? Thanks Benign

Not exactly. It is a long story and I think not a subject for this list. If you wonder details, let me know in a private e-mail. O?uz Demirkap? Ali Majdzadeh wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Crystal Tech vs Viux? Which > one do you choose? I've never used either of them.  As someone else stated (maybe in a different thread?), the problem with these questions is that most of us have only use a handful of hosts.  Personally, my main deciding factor for a hosting company is whether or not they offer Linux hosting.  That automatically throws out 90% of the ColdFusion hosts on the market. However, I've tried most of the Linux hosts, and of those I liked HostMySite for shared hosting, and Vivio for VPS (because it's cheaper than HMS).   Oh, and one annoying thing about HMS, I left them a few months ago (I was happy with the service, but Vivio's VPS is the same price as HMS's cheapest shared account), and since then they keep spamming me with messages asking if I want to reinstate my account with them.  That has NEVER happened to me before, and I think it's extremely poor taste. ----------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Great. So it seems they provide a good windows+CF hosting. Does CT provide CF 7.0.2? Does they provide Flex with their CF packages? Plus do they add ASP support to my CF package? I sent those questions to their support email but I recieved no answer yet and I thought you as an expert user may know more about it. Thanks Benign

I remember that they had even provided some BETA CFMX stuff as test server. :) Ali Majdzadeh wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

That could be easily faked too.  I'm not saying you're company is doing this, Russ, but imagine how easy it would be to have your employees setup email address with various free services, submit reviews, and then respond to any questions as if you're a legitimate customer.  Heck, if they wanted to be fancy, they could build a fully automated system to handle all this.  In short order you could have thousands of 'real' reviews up there, and all requests for comments would be forwarded to an employee for response.  To make it seem more legit, you could even intersperse a few 3 or 4 star reviews (things like "Good service, but they don't offer Linux").  I don't think many companies would do such things, but look at Yahoo movies, or Amazon's book reviews.  There have been well publicized cases of publishers submitting fake reviews to try to sell more tickets/books.

You can always Check the reviewers web site and see if it is legit, call the phone number on the web site and speak to the person who wrote the review if you don?t want to email them. Obviously in the case of bens site, they may use hotmail or other free addresses, but for the customer quotes we put on our own web site we have specifically asked the customers if they mind being contacted, abd most of them say no they do not mind, and these are the ones we put online, so any potential customer can get a personal reference if they want. At the end of the day, if your looking for CHEAP HOSTING then your not going to care about such things, but if your looking for a good reliable host with great customer support and CF knowledge, you have  to put a bit of effort in find out about them. My only suggestion would be, if you only need CF then go to a host that specialises in CF a sthey will most likely have the best support and knoeldge, not a generic host who just has it installed on their servers.           > Well I dunno about the other ISP's listed on bens site, but ours > (cfmxhosting) has 100% legitimate reviews by all our customers, and > they can all be contacted for a reference.

Okay... It seems the best choice for a shared, cheap and reliable hosting company is Crystal Tech while I should wonder about the international complications. About the reviews, you know I think the best review is here in CF-Talk. http://www.cfmxhosting.co.uk looks very great but I need MSSQL and 10 pounds/month for the MSSQL plus the 119 pounds /yearly cost (the starter plan + MSSQL meets my needs) is a little more than my customers are ready to pay. But as I said it looks very very good. But about Viux nobody said bad or good things. The plans look very good but I really count on your reviews. Thanks Benign

They also have the following tags disabled: CFContent CFDirectory CFExecute CFFTP CFIndex CFRegistry CFSchedule I have moved several CF-related sites to HostMySite since.  With Viux, you'll definite get what you'd pay for.

>I used Viux, but their CF servers intermittently fails... and their tech >support are not too familiar with CF either. Well I can’t speak for Mr. Carluen’s experience with ViUX. My onw experience is that I have never know the CF sever to go down. Once, the mail server did go down. It was clearly posted on the status page and although they did not offer an estimated down time, they were back up in about two hours. The nature of “shared” hosting is that you can be affected by what the other sites are doing. SO it is possible that Mr. Carluen’s sites were on a server with a rogue site. But who knows. I have always found their support team to be knowledgeable and helpful. But, I must admit that I have never had a CF specific question to ask them. >They also have the following tags disabled: >CFContent >CFDirectory >CFExecute >CFFTP >CFIndex >CFRegistry >CFSchedule Well yes and no. Yes, they did have these tags disabled but all the NEW servers have ALL tags enabled except, CFExecute and CFRegistry. All the old servers are currently being migrated. I can’t speak for HostMySite either, but I do know that have a pretty good reputation and some snazzy print ads. For me my experience with ViUX has been good and so they keep my business. > With Viux, you'll definite get what you'd pay for. Well, I would agree, however, for me that that has always been a good thing. PS: Yes ViUX does host ColdFusion but it is an option on any of their plans under the new plans structure.

I can speak for HostMySite; they are good, especially since they take Linux hosting seriously and you get a good deal more on Linux than on Windows for the same price. They take CF really seriously and they were willing to make security better when a few of us raised some issues. Another popular host (I won't name it) was clueless about the same security issues (confirmed with testing). > I can't speak for HostMySite either, but I do know that have a pretty good reputation and some snazzy print ads.

"Another popular host (I won't name it) was clueless about the same security issues (confirmed with testing)." oh you mean Crystaltech!! haha I dont think you can get better than hostmysite, i just got a vps server there and its sure nice having control over everything.

Hi everyone, I've been looking for a managed dedicated server provider, anyone have any suggestions? Crystaltech seems fine, but they're more geared towards shared hosting (in my opinion anyways). I've been looking at: http://www.onlinecorp.com/dedicated.cfm http://www.hostmysite.com/dedicated/ I'm not even sure what our load on the site will be, we need CF 7.02, MySQL and MSSQL if possible and we need to be able to control everything, which Hostmysite certainly seems to offer. Just wondering if I'm missing another great company?

Check out Enterhost as well : http://enterhost.com They don't offer "managed" hosting in the sense that you have to take   care of your own server patches and hotfixes, but they have good   support when you need it and have a solid infrastructure.  I've been   very pleased with them. My only beef is that they charge per database for MSSQL server space   after the first one.    That considered, though, they still come out   ahead in price for features from most of the other hosts I've looked   at.   They're a Windows-only host, though if you wanted Linux.
