Cold Fusion Web Hosting is for one of the fastest hosting programs to date.

There are so many programs and applications available today it would be impossible to hear and know about them all. It is the powerful ones, the ones with the "wow" factor that we hear about. ColdFusion® MX 7 is one of those programs, and with it comes a need for Cold Fusion Web Hosting.

ColdFusion was first released in 1995. It is a programming tool for creating and delivering powerful web applications. ColdFusion had been almost entirely written by one person, JJ Allaire. Since the earlier versions, 6.0 and lower, were written using Visual C++; that made it limited to only run on Microsoft Windows. Version 3.1 was able to run on Sun Solaris due to a successful port on Allaire's side. In 2001, Allaire merged with Macromedia, creating versions 5.0, 6.0, 6.1. The last version Macromedia released is what is being used today, ColdFusion® MX 7. ColdFusion has since been sold to Adobe and the newest version MX 8, code name Scorpio, is slated for release sometime in late 2007.

Along with ColdFusion® MX 7, come the need for stable development and a high speed delivery ColdFusion web hosting platform. Not all hosting service providers are capable of hosting the ColdFusion application. This application requires CFFILE and CFDIRECTORY in order to upload images, text files and logos.

A ColdFusion web host should be running the Enterprise Edition on his/her server. The Enterprise Edition delivers applications and multiple websites on one or more servers. Unlike the Professional edition, this is the only edition that allows you to use the Sandbox Security features. If you were on a shared server, you wouldn't have any control or knowledge of the code being used by others sharing your server. It is this Sandbox Security feature that prevents other cold fusion account holders on your server the ability to upload malicious ColdFusion code, which could cause all kinds of problems. One of the common exploits is to use the CFFFILE and the CFDIRECTORY tags and gain access to any and all files on the server, which include yours in your directory. Sandbox Security prevents them from seeing beyond their own directory on a shared server.
