The files you're storing don't technically have to be on the same server. You could have two servers, one used as a media server, the other as your main domain server.
Just a thought. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Donahue [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 4:50 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Time for another CF hosting site thread... Hello Charlie and listers, I'll join this thread. I'm finding that most ColdFusion Hosting companies while they offer support for many of CF's features they tend to be quite stingy on disk space. During the National Federation of the Blind Convention several weeks ago we established a new group called the National Federation of the Blind Living History Group. One initiative of this group is to digitize old recordings of past NFB events and place them on a Web site for members and other interested individuals to listen to or download to their hard drive, podcatcher, or whatever other device they have for offline listening and storage. I've seen some hosting companies who offer accounts with very generous amounts of disk space for a very cheap price; 500 GB to be exact. This would be more than enough to meet our needs for a good while, but they don't support ColdFusion. If anyone knows of CF hosting companies offering accounts with similar amounts of disk space who won't take us to the bank that would be wonderful! We have a service used to support a number of our affiliate Web sites and discussion lists, but it does not support ColdFusion. I tried running some CF code on that host, but didn't get as much as an invalid parser construct error. It simply ignored the CF code and displayed the page without executing anything. Our Sysop has been great about allotting us the disk space we need for our affiliate Web sites. A project of this nature would require us to have a large amount of space for file storage which we can manage ourselves and have under complete control of our group. Any suggestions for CF hosts that would meet our needs would be appreciated. I all ready use Yetihost for some of my CF accounts of paying customers, but even they are stingy on disk space not to mention having to pay by the British pound instead of the Yankee Dollar. Again your suggestions and recommendations will be very much appreciated.
