It's hard to find decent shared ColdFusion hosting. I used to love a Canadian company called ExpertHost. Their tech support was always very responsive. Their disk space and bandwidth became outdated for the price and the final straw was when they wouldn't let me instantiate a Java object. I realize there are security issues but why would I want to compromise my own host? Anyway, I tried GoDaddy because they were cheap and offered a ton of space and transfer. Again, problems occurred when I tried to use CreateObject and this time just to instantiate a CFC! How can I program without CFCs? Their advice was to simply us CFInvoke. No sir, if I can't use ColdSpring or a similar architecture then I'm not wasting my time. So I got a refund and found a comfortable home which lets me do anything I want for $10 a month with tons of space and transfer and decent support. Hostek is my new source for ColdFusion hosting. I know CFDynamics and HostMySite are popular too, but I'm not paying $20+ for the same features that Hostek has for $10.
