Thanks Jeff. I saw that before. In my case, I am passing search parameters to a feed so they are dynamic somewhat. Also, because these classifieds aren't that *time sensitive*, I only run each feed once per day so checking if they have *changed* isn't that big a deal.
That is why my original question was about hosting... it seems my needs are between a shared server and a VPS. What would you call that? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 2:59 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: What type of CF hosting do I need? While I can't help you with hosting because all my clients currently their own servers, this doesn't sound like a project that would require that much horsepower. Here is a post from Ray Camden that talks about Conditional GETs, which may help you increase speed and/or reduce bandwidth. He also links to a language neutral discussion of conditional GETs. http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2007/10/15/Doing-HTTP-Conditional-Ge ts-in-ColdFusion I don't *think* CFFEED supports conditional GETs yet, so this may not work if you are using that tag.
