	Thanks for the hint! Sad that they only offer cf10 beta on windows, not on linux :( But I'll give it a try anyway

	I will add that their support and service are excellent, and very competitive pricing as well.

	Not to take this OT (screw it, my blog, my rules), but I love Windows for servers. I just find it easier to manage services.

	Easier maybe, but also less secure ;) just flaming But if windows, then only with Apache. Never ever IIS.

Raymond Camden said on 02-24-2012 at 8:27 AM #
	I will admit to using IIS for this server, but that's how Edgeweb set it up. I much prefer Apache (RIAForge uses Apache).

	Ray not sure what you mean by your comment, but I host with Hostek for a number of sites on their CF 9 windows hosting packages.

Raymond Camden said on 02-24-2012 at 8:36 AM #
	Eh? I was just talking about how I prefer Apache too. Nothing more. :)

	Thanks Ray! Awesome find!

Andrew Scott said on 02-24-2012 at 8:41 AM #
	Well that is what I was wondering, your reply at the top right after mine, I got the impression that maybe you thought Hostek didn't do windows hosting :-)

Raymond Camden said on 02-24-2012 at 8:42 AM #
	@Andrew: Nah...

Raymond Camden said on 02-24-2012 at 8:42 AM #
	@Raf: Heh, well, they contacted me, so not much of a find. ;)

	Oh darn. Hostmediauk sponsors the cfhour podcast, so I was hoping they would have a cf10 beta preview. Maybe I'll wait a week and see if they come up with the same agreement as hostek. Nothing against any other provider - I'm just looking for a reason to do business with the show's sponsor.

	Why do they ask for a credit card number when it's free to evaluate? Also, it's not clear what the evaluation terms are.

Raymond Camden said on 02-26-2012 at 9:32 AM #
	Got me. I do know many services do this.

	Depressed to find out that cf10 still has the same old extjs 3.1 for grids, etc.

Raymond Camden said on 02-28-2012 at 8:29 PM #
	I say if you know it's even Ext, you probably aren't the audience for the grids. These UI controls work great for folks who don't know how to use frameworks like Ext and jQuery UI.

On top of what Ray added, and Ray you may need to confirm this with CF 10.

But in CF 9 you are free to download and use the next version of ExtJS, as the ColdFusion license allows for it. Publicly stated by Adam when he was the project manager.

Now CF 10 maybe different, and the license might not cover ExtJS 4+ but it would be nice to know if it does?

Secondly as Ray as indicated if you know its ExtJS, it is not hard to create your own widgets, as I have dont and written tags to mimic the cfgrid tags as closely as possible. But it gives me more control over what the grid can and can't do, where as CF is very limited in some areas.
