Recently I stumbled on an article mentioning a long paragraph describing ColdFusion and I was too curious to know what exactly ColdFusion is and I have collated few of my findings in this post so that it may be helpful for anyone ever wanting to know about ColdFusion hosting and also the list of various ColdFusion hosting providers on the internet.

ColdFusion is nothing but a simple application that helps in connecting html pages and a database. Wikipedia describes ColdFusion as mentioned below:

ColdFusion is a commercial rapid application development platform invented by Jeremy and JJ Allaire in 1995. Originally designed to make it easier to connect simple HTML pages to a database, by version 2 it had become a full platform that included an IDE in addition to a full Scripting Language. Current versions of ColdFusion, sold by Adobe Systems, include advanced features for enterprise integration and development of rich internet applications. ColdFusion primarily competes with PHP and ASP

Some of the features of ColdFusion are as follows:

• Gives simplified access to databases
• client-side code generating support
• File indexing based on Verity K2
• Easy GUI management
• XML Parsing
• Server clustering and task scheduling

After checking out the meaning and features/advantages of ColdFusion, I started hunting for various comparisons that could help me choose a ColdFusion hosting and here is a great post that solved the purpose.

Though, if you are considering to get a ColdFusion hosting just for resale purpose, then you can even check out Windows Reseller Hosting.

Hope this post is helpful for you.
