I appreciate the contact. Here's the deal. I have a side business that
I do (approximately 7 sites) and a friend has a business that handles
approximately 7-10 sites. We're looking at a possible merger of our two
businesses and some growth in the near future. We prefer windows
servers (right now I use a linux host) and Microsoft SQL as the database
server. Most hosting companies disable a bunch of CF tags for security
purposes. The main ones that we need that aren't available with most
places are: CFFILE, CFDIRECTORY, CFEXECUTE and CFCONTENT. We'd like to
be able to have all of the sites be able to use commons sets of code
(and ideally be able to get to all of the sites with one ftp login).
We've considered doing a co-location or dedicated server but we're
worried about server availability without doing some kind of clustering
or something like that. Do you have clustered servers? Our goal is to
get something that won't cost us an arm and a leg so we can offer it to
our customers for a reasonable price and we need near-free-reign as far
as coding goes so we can take advantage of some of the advanced features
in CF. Let me know your responses and we'd be glad to consider your
company. Thanks!

Do you want to be a reseller of this space or are you the client here,
John?
We can handle nearly all of that, but we don't have a reseller program -
its not in our business strategy. We'll work with you and be as
flexible as anyone anywhere, but a reseller program is something we
haven't built in
yet. So it means the control panel you'll get is the end user control
panel not a reseller's one.
We have no disabled tags except CFREGISTRY but if you needed it, we
could consider it. But no promises. We don't really want to expose
everyone to risk of one person making a mistake using it.
We will allow any CFX tags, but we want to install it for you and we
want to see what it does first. If there's a risk to other clients
we'll work to find another way of doing what you want, but so far we've
never had to say to anyone 'Nope you can't do that" (which was a regular
occurrence when I started out hosting).
Why do you need IMAP? Will POP3/SMTP do for what you need?
Otherwise .. we have Win2K, SQL2000, CFMX6.1 users get their own
control panel to set up their email accounts etc themselves, set up
databases, ftp sites etc.

&DocumentID=4 (NOTE: If you're comparing prices based on this, they
are
quoted here in Australian dollars including GST. We can bill in any
currency if you use a credit card, and if you're not doing business in
Australia, that takes 10% off the price because we don't have to charge
you
GST).
As a guide, the prices shown on our page would be about 2/3 if expressed
in US dollars for a non-Australian company at today's exchange rate).

Ok, I know this has been asked multiple times, but I want to see if
anyone has a direction for me based on my specific needs...
I need to find a hosting company that meets the following requirements.
This can be done through a shared hosting or dedicated server, but I'm
trying to find a reliable, low-cost solution for hosting approximately
20 sites (growing in the near future). The hosting must:
- CFMX 6.1
- allow the use of ALL CF tags (no disabled tags)
- windows server OS preferred
- tape backups
- company support for hardware and maybe some software issues
- MS SQL server
- POP/IMAP support
I think that covers it. If you have any suggestions, please let me
know. I have considered the co-location option, but I'm somewhat afraid
of depending on a single server for all of that load. Thanks
John
