Inexpensive student/developer oriented CF hosting?

by Pete Ruckelshaus :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

I'm the computer science teacher at a public high school and am teaching
ColdFusion as part of my web programming course.  Does anyone know of any
inexpensive ($5 or so per month) ColdFusion hosting services?  Something
like what Zymic (http://www.zymic.com/) does for PHP, but with CF or
BlueDragon, mySQL or SQL Server Express, that sort of thing.

Thanks,

Pete

I pay $14.95/month from a company called A-Tech out of Philadelphia. If
you pay annually you save 20%, which would bring the cost down to
$11.96/month. There are also no set-up fees.

£2.50 a month. Much Cheapness! and very good too.

My site runs faster than it has ever done. If its a low traffic site
(like mine is :-P ) i can highly recommend them.

Yes, ,and that's what we're using at school.  However, the server is inside
the firewall only, and I've had a couple of students asking me for advice on
cheap CF hosting that they can use on their own sites.

I had a good experience with hostek.com.  They have cf 8 for $5/mo No MSSQL
though.
If the kids want to chip in they can get the $9.99 deal and use the 25 sub
domains and 10 MySQL databases.

Nope, not seen anything do it.
You can look into calling Java's POI directly of course, but AFAIK that doesn't write the not-a-standard .docx XML files, only the older also-not-a-standard .doc binary files.

What's your use case ?

I have to create very large (sometimes hundreds of pages) word documents
from CF with some pretty specific formatting and layout rules.

I've been using iText to create some basic word docs, but as soon as
they get too large CF throws weird errors.

The biggies are I need to be able to set headers and footers, page
numbers, and use graphics.

It would be nice if I could do a table of contents, but not required.

It must be word.

I'm also wondering if there isn't some kind of .Net solution I couldn't
use from CF, as this project is for CF 8.

$12 per year.

No... It's not a misprint. Year.

and they give a full security sandbox and are very good with customer
service.

No, I don't work for them. Just use them on all my websites. :)

Most expensive CF plan (with SQL Server) is $75 a year.  If you go the MySQL
route, their Plan S-III is $30 a year.  I've reviewed them (and used them
myself) in the past... and while I probably wouldn't put up a commercial
site for a client that needs 99.99% uptime guarantee, it sounds like it'd be
perfectly fine for your situation.

I've used hostingatoz for CF in the past and like CJ said it's fine for goofing around or non-commercial use, and pretty cheap. They were fairly reliable and responsive  in all my experiences with them. In fairness that was 2 yrs ago though.

Hi,

You can check out the MSDN documentation at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338205.aspx

Then write your own libraries.  I have posted something similar for
OpenDocument Format here:
http://speeves.erikin.com/2008/08/coldfusion-opendocument-format-starter.html
http://speeves.erikin.com/2008/08/coldfusion-opendiocument-format-add.html

These are very basic, but give you an idea on how to work with a similar
format.  The interesting thing, (to me), with OpenDocument Format, is that
you can use jodconverter and transform the docs into most formats, (anything
that OpenOffice can do).

Let us know how it goes for you, as we need more documentation on handling
these formats.

thanks,
speeves
