I use 'em. It was looking for a CFMX 7 host, and their prices were low enough that I was like, "Charlie, how could you not?". So I did.
At first, it was orgasmically good. Any need that I had for support was answered (and resolved) within 1-4 hours. The tags/functions that are disabled are minimal (stuff like cfexecute and cfregistry...and a couple of functions i'd never even heard of). This was back in late June/early July of this year. Since then, things have gotten a little...bumpy. Web site's mostly been OK, but e-mail's been unavailable more frequently than I'd care for (altho they are currently upgrading their e-mail server and/or deploying multiple new e-mail servers from what I understand). I'm not sure if they grew too much too fast...but support tickets started taking longer to get an answer to. There's a fairly lengthy thread on easycfm.com that deals with them. A few good reviews (mine), and a few bad. http://www.easycfm.com/forums/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=29&Topic=9021 I actually think they followed the thread there as they thanked me for my favorable review. I also think they probably heard a lot of what was said, because lately it seems that things are swinging back in a more favorable direction. What it boils down to for me right now is I think they're a great host if you just want a CF "playground" or a personal site. I wouldn't at this time host a paying customer there (at least not without full disclosure that things might be "choppy" but the price is right) or any sort of commercial site. I was, at one point, paying CrystalTech $27 a month to host my personal site. Now, $27 a month really isn't bad when you get CF, SQL Server, and the reliability of CrystalTech. But given the amount of traffic that my personal site gets...it was laffable for me to pay $27 a month on it. Thing is...you can give it a try (the $35 a year plan gets you CFMX7 and SQL Server 2k5) and if you should find that you're not happy...just find a new host. Worst case scenario is that you're out $35. Best case scenario is that you've found a $35 a year host :) that was pretty much my logic going in (altho I went for the $65 a year plan...i'm a big spender <g>). I should probably also point out that I may be a little favorably biased because they are sponsoring our local CFUG by providing free hosting for the group's site....so bear that in mind :) On 11/30/06, Munson, Jacob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've never heard of them, but with prices that low, they're probably > similar in quality to xtreme-host.com which I wouldn't recommend, from > personal experience.
