HostMySite offering free ColdFusion 8 hosting (for testing purposes)

coldfusion (This post is more than 2 years old.)

HostMySite is offering free ColdFusion 8 hosting for people who want to play with ColdFusion. This isn't for web site hosting per se, but if you don't want to download or setup ColdFusion 8 locally, or if you want to share some cool demos with others, this is definitely a nice alternative.

Hire Me!

I'm currently looking for my next role in developer evangelism and advocacy. I have a long history of helping companies work with developers and love to write, create demos, and present at conferences. You can find my resume to learn more and drop me an email (raymondcamden@gmail.com) to reach out.

This is neat!

I read somewhere that Adobe has special price offers for Hosting companies to make ColdFusion competition. So they can offer ColdFusion package at same price along with php or ASP .NET hosting packages and to avoid price gouging?

Not sure on that one, Brad.

I have CF8 beta account with them. I have installed ColdBox framework and it is working flawless. :-)

Can v8 work on the same box as cf7?

Brad, we do indeed work with hosting companies that want to offer ColdFusion hosting, and do indeed make sure that it is competitive for them to do so.

I can't seem to get anything that relies on CFIDE scripts to work there at HMS. cfform / cfinput cftooltip, etc...

I know folks have done it - I saw others talking about it. I don't have the answer, but maybe someone else on this entry will. (So in other words, it IS possible, afaik, I just don' tknow the way to do it.)

Kevin,

Contact HMS support for adding CFIDE mapping for your account. It would work with cfform, etc..
