But the cost of hosting those applications will make CF an unlikely choice.
I would say the majority of CF development work is actually done on small
sites running on shared servers. I have worked on dozens of such sites and I
know of one problem that I always have to get over - the customer
complaining about hosting costs, even when it's only £40 or so per month.
I welcomed the Spectra announcement, it was obvious that something had to be
done as it was way too expensive to be used on most sites, unfortunately it
now looks like CF may become another product like Generator - very nice but
out of most companies price range.
