That's a $10 a month difference and they list out versions they use. I see that pricing as more agreeable for both sides and I think it's great that prices are coming down.
There's a threshold where you start to lose money on every new customer and I'm sure it's different for everyone. But I remember Dell got into hosting and were offering $16.95 plans with CF. Guess how long that lasted? About a year. And they are a huge company, so it makes me wonder about the smaller hosts and their ability to sustain at that level of price vs. features without cutting corners. Just want to make sure people ask the right questions when they look for hosting. I look forward to seeing that BD hosting list. -Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Massimo Foti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 10:15 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: DWMX 2004 - Whats new for us? > "There's no such thing as a free lunch" > > I would be leery of *free* CF and SQL Server, both of those cost a > pretty penny and are not easy to cover without passing some of the > cost on to customers.

Other companies offer low prices too: http://www.crystaltech.com/plan2.htm The quality is excellent, with SQL Server 2000 and CF 6.1 Enterprise running on Win 2003. Hosting prices keep going down, not as fast as a few years ago, but they are more affordable than ever ---------------------------- Massimo Foti Certified Dreamweaver MX Developer Certified Advanced ColdFusion MX Developer http://www.massimocorner.com/ ---------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
