While you're talking about hosting Jacob, I'd suggest either Gearhost.com (CF hosting as low as $8.95, with mySQL included for as low as $16.95). I used them for almost 2 years and they were great. Their Control panel is quite good as well.
Alternately, my company, ICGLink, offers CF hosting for as low as $10 per month: http://www.icglink.net/features.html Whomever you choose, I do second Jacob's suggestion of shared hosting. It's the rare company that really needs their own server. Shared hosting can be extremely economical since you don't have to support the machine, purchase a CF license and can download a free text editor with CF hooks from the internet. It's possible to develop in CF for NOTHING, not counting the cost of hosting. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.

I'll echo the "it's about money" statements, but follow up with a caveat. If your needs are simple enough that shared hosting would work (you don't need a colocated server all to yourself), CF can be pretty cheap. You can download a free local development copy of CF server for all your developers. Then for production, you use one of the many hosting companies that offers ColdFusion. However, I have noticed that ColdFusion shared hosting is a bit more expensive than PHP ($5-$10/month). If you want good recommendations on a host, search this list's archives for 'hosting' and you'll find tons of good advice. --------------- [INFO] -- Access Manager: This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
