Looking for a Coldfusion host

In my opinion, hosts such as GoDaddy actually do more to DISCOURAGE the use of CF than anything else. By making so many tags inaccessible, and providing less than spectacular service, it really limits the developer. So, a newbie developer gets his feet wet with GoDaddy, comes to realize that he can't build the application he needs, and is faced with the option of changing hosts, or changing technologies.

Seems kind of like test driving a Ferrari, but leaving one wheel off.

I wonder if Adobe has ever considered offering hosting themselves.

sone people charge more because they can, seriously I had the best service ever with hostingfuse.com at only 11.00aus about 5us dollars then I had the worse service ever with hostdepartment.com at 10.00us and back in the day I had £45 a month for the worst cf5 hosting ever from some people called hostway

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone. I prefer to deal with US dollars so I probably won't go for the UK services.

Hostfolio's $7.95/ mo. plan seems to fit best with my budget, but what do you think makes this one so much cheaper than other cf hosts? What might be the catch? I don't require a ton of space, domains, emails, etc. and I don't need to worry about traffic as it's an individual site. Just need something secure and stable and pretty fast.

Try Cartika Hosting who I use and they are pretty good. Great Tech Support!

anything over 5.99 is too expensive for shared hosting in my opinion

the problem is coldfusion is expensive so hosting is expensive it is difficult to compete against php which is free but there are still some hosts out there. hostfolio.com is good I have heard and http://www.cfmxhosting.co.uk/ looks cheap don't know how good it is

RUN AWAY! I've heard of nothing but troubles with GoDaddy's
version of CF, mainly because many tags are not available and last
I heard they were still running CF5. Version 8 is the current CF version.

Http://www.gearhost.com
Offers both PHP and CF on their servers

I've had excellent experiences with both of these:
