Free ColdFusion Hosting Update
I wanted to write a brief note for everyone following the stauts of Free ColdFusion Hosting; I have completed the installation and configuration of the server farm; now I am finalizing and finishing up the control panel and the auto scripts that will create your accounts on the fly. Everything is looking good right now for a January 1st launch.
I will let you know more as it becomes available.
To answer some of the questions I've been seeing asked in the blog:
- Q. Is it your intention that this service is to be used by developers as a dev platform, or for more general, production purposes?
- A. The intent behind this will be for production ready sites only; I am throwing around the idea of having a developer sandbox environment (around Februrary or so) that will allow you to have a second (or first; depending on your needs) account that will be used only for testing code and will not require uptime for sites. More on this later.
- Q. Are there mandatory ads or any other limitations?
- A. Yes, there will be advertisements required on your sites. However initially I will go on the honor system. (If people don't place the ads; I will incorporate a ServletFilter (already created) that will override your content on the way out and insert the ads for you) On your control panel you will have the code you need to put on your sites dependong on the sized banner you wish to display. There will be three sizes:
- 468x60 - Defauilt Banners
- 120x600 Skyscraper banners
- 200x200 - Small quare banners (usually embdedded within content)
- Q. is this too good to be true?
- A. No, it's true. I've done this before with CFM-Resources in 2000; and will do it again in 2009 with Free ColdFusion Hosting.
More to come...
