The Bread Is Now Served Fresh By FusionLink

Posted by Paul Marcotte | Tags: ColdFusion

I sat in on John Mason's Testing with cfcUnit ColdFusion Meetup presentation a few days ago. Not only did I learn a few new things to help me with unit testing, I found a new ColdFusion host. There were a few things that sold me on FusionLink as a provider. They've been in business longer than I've been a ColdFusion developer, they encourage secure connections for ftp, pop3, smtp, and databases, and they bundle a subversion repository (also under ssl) with the plan. Changing hosts is not something I do on a whim. There's a lot of work involved. Fusionlink made the migration a breeze. The only hiccup in the entire process was that my domain was locked and I had to wait to change the DNS server settings. If you're looking for ColdFusion hosting, do yourself a favour and check FusionLink out.

Do you know if they support frameworks? Seems alot of hosts don't mesh well with MachII, Model Glue, or the others.

Hi Mike,

Yes, you can use frameworks with a hosting plan at FusionLink. I'm planning on running sub-domains for various projects. I have one project that uses ColdSpring and Transfer and another using Coldspring, Transfer and ModelGlue. For any given domain, you simply place the core framework files at the root of the domain.

Bundling an SVN repository with the hosting is a cool idea. Paul how would rate FusionLink now that you have been with them for awhile?
