Thanks Russ it all makes sense.
I have asked my client to look at CFMXhosting.

You cannot set a default value for security reasons. Otherwise you could
alter this field to upload peoples system files or outlook files etc etc
Hosting companies running CFMX Professional should have tags like
cffile/cfdirectory/cfexecute/cfregistry/cfobject/cfftp/cfpop disabled, if
they do not then stay away from them as their servers are totally insecure.
Some hosts just leave everything enabled and say you can do what you want,
which is fine as long as your not bothered about customers being able to
crash the server, delete your website, steal your code and database etc.
The better hosts run CFMX enterprise and provide you with a security
sandbox
for your site so you can securely use all the usually disabled tags. And
this is in fact what we do.
