I know... the eternal discussion thread. Right now I'm paying $95 a month for a dedicated server (CrystalTech) running CF 7 Standard. I love it (no problems, no complaints), but that's over a $1000 a year to host a web site that I rarely update and nobody ever visits and a bunch of email domains (family and friends).
I'd prefer to keep the email (I own over a dozen domains) and would prefer (out of habit) to stick with SmarterMail. Honestly, at this point keeping the web site is a "nice to have". I don't update it enough for anybody to care and the grand plans I've had for some of my domains never got off the drawing board. I also haven't taken (or sought) and outside contracts for several years. The site itself heavily uses CFCs (needs a mapping), requires local file access (CFFILE) and is designed to use SQL Server. It consumes less than 100 Meg (there are some largish files available) and the SQL Server is just under 500 Meg (but that's many years of anally collected metrics data which I could reset). I own 19 domains but only about 5 are in any serious use and none of them have more than 15 email addresses in use. Ideas? I'd like to weigh my options from dirt cheap to just cheaper (I can't find a deal as good as I have now for a dedicated option... but if one's out there that I missed I'm all ears). Of course maybe next week I'll swing back into a "got to buckle down and work on my stuff!" phase...
