Jeff,
If you have clients that you host for, then a dedicated cloud hosting option might be a good idea. I am owner of HostFold.com, Dynapp Inc and ClinicApps. We host cloud solutions with CF10 Ent installed. With this kind of setup, you can host a local MySQL server and/or MS SQL server as well... though I recommend running a separate database server (cloud VM). For those looking for cheap shared hosting, this is a bit much. But, for someone who hosts clients and their clients pay you for hosting services, this can be MUCH better than having a reseller account with another host company sharing out resources. This way, you have full control over the server(s) and will not find yourself victim of other shared hosted clients beyond your control. I have a couple of clients who use our cloud based virtual servers who host between 20 and 40 CF based websites. An added benefit of using these virtual machines is you can start small and expend. Need more RAM? We can add it in a matter of minutes with little to no down time. We host many higher education websites as dedicated cloud hosting running CF as well as several others for higher traffic websites. We also have some very cheap shared PHP hosting solutions which you can install WordPress on if that is your thing. Or, you could install PHP and WordPress on your dedicated VM for that matter. If this sounds like a possible solution, let me know... I would be happy to help.

I have used and recommended Hostel for years. They are the most cost effective CF host I have found. I had some problems while I used an Access database and they helped me switch to MySQL. Since then I have not had significant problems. Forrest C Gilmore On Apr 21, 2014 5:05 PM, "Jeff Howard" <jeh...@gmail.com<mailto:jeh...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hey all. I've been using Hostek for years at this point but over the past month I have encountered issue after issue and today their servers have been down for the greater part of the day and I have some unhappy clients. In this downtime I've been shopping around looking for an alternative. I figured that some of you probably have some good quality options so I thought I'd ask. I'll also need the ability to have an MS SQL and MySQL database along with the ability to publish a WordPress public website. I'm open for any and all suggestions. Thanks, Jeff
