Re: ColdFusion Hosting Recommendations
most sites I use do the email validation rule, it is pretty well tried and tested and is the only way to ensure the email address used is real and valid. The other methods I mentioned are also fairly common practices, On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 2:02 AM, Maureen mamamaur...@gmail.com wrote: Sites like Trip Adviser have the best model.

Try authenticating the user using their LinkedIn or their Twitter userid. That often deters 'phony' users from creating accounts with self-serving or malicious intentions that'll skew your data.

ColdFusion Hosting Recommendations
I am mostly a lurker on this list, but this has to be about the most common question that I see asked. So, I decided to create a web site to help answer it. The first thing about best is best for what, so the home page allows you to search based on several criteria for what you need in a site (databases, space, needed features, etc) and only returns hosting plans that meet your criteria. http://www.cfwebhosting.com/ I do need help, however. Currently only 25 plans across 9 hosting companies are listed. I would love for the list to be more extensive. So, spread the word to any hosting companies that you know and get them to add their plans to the site (it's free). I also don't have any reviews yet. If you see a hosting company that you have used, I would love to get reviews up. If the company you have used isn't listed, maybe you could convince them to sign up. The site is just getting started, so if you have any feedback let me know. Maybe next time someone asks for hosting recommendations, this site will make for a useful answer. Thanks!

see if using GLatLng instead of GPoint helps: var point = new GLatLng(#dLatitude#, #dLongitude#); (use same in your centerAndZoom() function call) also, i do not remember why now, but i had to use map = new google.maps.Map2(...) instead of new GMap2(...) to make it work...

Re: CF 8 Hosting recommendations

RE: hosting recommendations
Edge web is worth every penny for all but the least critical sites. Personally, I would never recommend that a company host with a low cost provider. What is ridiculous is spending 30 or 40 thousand dollars on development, then trying to save three or four hundred a year on hosting. Vlad Friedman and Scott Krebs are outstanding CF and SQL gurus - and having them (and the rest of their team) in the wings ready to troubleshoot an issue is worth the extra bucks. I would also point out that they have a generous reseller incentive plan - so it may be worth it to you as well :) (btw, anyone notice how ridiculously expensive edge web hosting is? wowzers) rick ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:258886 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Bryan, you can do either way. In the long run, purchasing would be cheaper, but I didn't have the grand or so for the Standard version and therefore opted to pay monthly for it. Plus I figured if I but CF 7 now, I'll be wanting to upgrade to 8 next year. It think the deal was $20/mo for the base VPS account, plus $25/mo for CF 7. The VPS option is fairly new to me also. I signed up for it a little over a week ago. But you have full access to the CF Administrator, no functions (e.g., createObject) are blocked, you have full email control and tons of other stuff. I'm still learning since it is based on Linux (CentOS distro), but so far I have four websites up (some still say Under Construction) and have no complaints.

Re: hosting recommendations
As Rick said, it depends on the project and if the project is a huge volume one or you need more security such as a e-commerce site etc., you would probably select a dedicated box for it. Ah Rick, we have our dedicated servers on EdgeWeb hosting. :) OÄuz Demirkapı Rick Root wrote: Mark A Kruger wrote: provider.

If I want to move 50 domains to them I'm going to go broke before I've even moved them in.In all the hosting companies I've looked at so far, that's included. And this bunch of highway robbers wants to charge to set up email aliases and email boxes. They think we can't work a calculator. And I have to add a margin to this and make money?

Re: OT- Hosting recommendations
Mike, Here are some words of advice because I've been through (and I mean THROUGH) what you are considering... Don't make your choice to do this lightly... If you insist on doing this, there are two other options to consider... Dedicated or Co-Location...A number of providers offer both of these options... Dedicated is a little more expensive ongoing, but co-location is an interesting option as you provide the server...the hosting company just plug it in for you (greater upfront costs, less ongoing cost except for maintenence). If you we're going to host 50 sites it's going to cost you a lot no matter who you go with, but if that's the number of sites you are going to host, then you should definitely go for either of these two options... the incoming revenue of those site could easily cover the cost of set-up/ongoing etc... But I agree with you in general... hosting providers aren't really very responsive to people in your position, but it's mainly because you want to outsource all of the work (server maintenance, software and hardware) and have them worry about most of it... You would essentially be a middle man... that's why they charge what the charge. But going co-location means you are effectively running your own box (it just resides at their server farm) and you'd used remote access tools to configure and maintain it... With that many sites you could do Ok financially, but I agree with Kay... hosting is a complete headf**k... I started doing it when I set-up my shop a couple of years ago and the net result was that even though you might produce *fantastic* design/programming work for your clients, if your hosting services fail it will result in you a)having a nervous breakdown and b)your clients hating you... I lost a few great clients because of email/hosting issues, so I threw at side of the business out the door. I just wasn't worth it. The most frustrating aspect was that when problems occurred, you have to assume the mantle of 'responsibility' for your clients sites, even though you have no direct access to fix the problem yourself, so if it turns out you go with an incompetent hosting provider (or even a competent one with too many sites) you end up being the village idiot. Another thing to consider is that in the worst case scenario, you have to reload (because of problems with hosting providers) and you've already got a number of sites, this become *extremely* expensive and it's not a cost you can pass onto your clients (because it was your fault for choosing your supplier in the first place). My advice. Find a good provide you can 'recommend' and forget trying to make money off hosting. Then, if the service screws up you're only partly responsible, but nothing like if you take your clients money in exchange for hosting. Good luck whichever way you go :-) Benjamin - Original Message - From: Mike Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 2:03 PM Subject: RE: OT- Hosting recommendations Thanks Benjamin. I took a look and it proves my argument- Australian companies just don't cater for their clients' business needs - at least not as far as I've found so far. Ozhosting want to charge a setup fee of $436.70 to set up cold fusion and SQLServer PER SITE . If I want to move 50 domains to them I'm going to go broke before I've even moved them in.In all the hosting companies I've looked at so far, that's included. And this bunch of highway robbers wants to charge to set up email aliases and email boxes. They think we can't work a calculator. And I have to add a margin to this and make money?

RE: OT- Hosting recommendations
Thanks for your suggestion Kay. I have my doubts about whether it's going to work out for me though because I want to sell hosting. There isn't anyone I've found in Australia that is prepared to offer a decent businesslike way to accommodate people like me. So since I don't have enough hosting clients yet to afford the cost of my own server, I have to keep hosting in the USA. That company doesn't seem to even know that resellers exist. No mention on their web site as far as I can see. Perhaps someone knows of an Australian hosting company prepared to work with resellers. I don't mean offering finders fees or commissions on referred business - I've got no interest in that. All I'd be doing is giving my hard-won clients to them. I mean someone who's prepared to run the hardware, let me buy space on it, give me a control panel so I can set up sites and domains myself, and who doesn't insist on billing my clients for their space. I want to do that. A hosting company has to take care of the technical needs of the clients - fast reliable servers, the right database and server software etc, but they also have to cater for the business needs too. No one in Australia seems prepared to do that, and at a price that isn't ridiculous. There has to be room for me to make a meagre buck in it too.

Re: OT- Hosting recommendations
You are correct Kay... Actually, Cyberhost were the original company (now back in business as Dedicated Hosting). I have been using them for years now. Early last year Cynerhost were bought by iAsiaWorks and then towards the end of the year, OzHosting bought all the Virtual Server Business from iAsia Works This is when it all went horribly wrong for us. OzHosting, were shocking. Customer Service was terrible, and it took several weeks to try and get another server set up. Dedicated Hosting then came about, mainly dealing with co-lo stuff, and after hearing about the hassles their former clients had with OzHosting, they started up offering virtual servers. I've subsequently moved all my clients back, and couldn't be happier. OzHosting also cut services off without warning! Dedicated Hosting are worth a look, IMO.

RE: OT- Hosting recommendations
Ok I've had lots and lots of recommendations of other systems, and heaps of people writing to me saying try us but my original question was .. .has anyone got anything to say about Sitebysize.com in Texas. I've already spent quite a lot of time researching hosts, and while some of you suggested possibilities I'd missed, the vast majority I'd already looked at and ruled out for one reason or another. (Usually because they don't want reseller business, only referrals) So let me ask again has anyone had any experience with sitebysize.com in Texas?

RE: OT- Hosting recommendations
Thanks for your suggestion, but CFXHosting don't cater to resellers. They only have a referral program. Referral programs suit sales people, who want to grab a deal and hand it to someone else to do the development work. The customer becomes theirs, and they are then free to compete with me for the CF Development business. I'd rather take full responsibility for the site and have the hosting company at arms length from the client. I won't have a bar of any referral program on my supplier side because us the development work is the main game. If we could, we'd get rid of the sales process altogether. That's why I have a referral program myself on the other side of the ledger. I want to make the client MY client.

I've been pretty happy with http://www.crystaltech.com. It's got all of the above (although with SQL Server, the lowest plan is $50/month, so I'm not sure if you call that low-cost or not). They also have a reseller feature where they just discount all subsequent sites you host with them (each successive site has a bigger discount).

Hi Kevin, How's the 'relational' database coming along?

Class leaders and committee chair persons would be able to add, edit, and retrieve information as needed, and the data could (and most certainly should) be password protected.

Re: Hosting recommendations
Robert, Customers, without enough information, draw their own conclusions about the cause of downtime. I don't know what you do, but CFHosting shows the courtesy of sending out announcements following outages to explain why they happened. When I know some yo-yo in downtown Atlanta cut a fiber optic line, I tend not to be irritated with CFHosting. It's not a bad strategy. While your servers may be up 99.7% of the time, other factors cause downtime, too. Sending accurate information to customers should lessen the griping.

Re: Hosting recommendations
If I were your ISP, and I saw what you just said, (begin quote) "I use my site everyday for development" (end quote) - I'd freeze your account. People "developing" on these shared servers has to be the cause of the biggest bulk of their down time. When you develop on a shared server, you put everyone else's websites in jeopardy.

Re: Hosting recommendations
It really depends upon the policies of the host. A lot of places state up front that development on their server is not allowed. Of course, if by development ya just mean ftping your debugged, coded, and tested files to the shared hosting environment... that is different.

RE: Hosting recommendations
i've hosted at a number of large companies. my BEST experience EVER has been with Epoch Internet for the past 10 months. i have a full cabinet there running 10Mbps burstable. it's always extremely fast reliable and their response has always been immediate. granted, this might not be the $49.95/month solution some people are looking for. i've gone with smaller shops, but my clients are generally large corporations (annual gross of $200M or more). i went with a small outfit which went BK in june 2000 and i won't do it again. just my opinion. luckily, like with most products, there are a range of solutions to cater to an equitable range of needs. -Original Message- From: Dick Applebaum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 4:57 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Hosting recommendations I am looking for hosting recommendations for multiple client sites.

When I used to run CF sites, I had good luck with Media3 (http://www.media3.net).. Now that I only personally run PHP on Linux systems, I use JTL Networks (http://www.jtlnet.com) and they do have a CF offering as well.

Nice shoo-in TeX! I use Atswebnet and am more than happy with their service. However, it kills me that that I have to wade thru 50 messages ever week about plugs for ISPs. And call me cynical, but I would not be surprised if the ISP posts the initial message asking for the recommendation ... so they can plug away. So be it.

RE: Hosting recommendations
This reminds me of the time I developed a big CF website for this Head Hunter startup, worked day and night for a month to get it up on time (before Fusebox), and gave them a good development price thinking of long term hosting. After 3 months they moved it to another hosting company. One of the reasons they gave for moving was the new hosting company gave them a guarantee of 99% uptime. 2 days later (I'm slow) the meaning of 99% hit me and I called and thanked them for a great marketing scam (although I never used it). I told them 99% uptime was an average of 14.4 minutes downtime each day, and (1) I would consider such a server unstable, and (2) None of our servers had ever been down that much. best, paul At 03:00 PM 4/6/01 -0400, you wrote: Just FYI, 99.7% uptime means that there is over 26 hours of down time each year.

(Admin) Re: Hosting recommendations [KILL]
I posted a link to Ben's ISP list and hoped it would end. Tuesday (it's almost holidays) I'm going to post some new rules about ISPs. Requests about them should be sent to a page that details each isp (I'll build it) and then the thread MUST be dropped. Any discussion about ISPs should be on CF-Server. The ISP page will have a link to ben and a place to put in comments about an ISP. CF-Community will stay with the mad cows and the women of CF topics as it is a great way of letting off steam, getting the community together and keeping OT posts off the tech lists. You may have noticed the slight reduction in CF-Talk posts and that the posts seem to be more on topic then before. Well, that's because people can now 'do their thing' in a place made for them.
