What is Cold Fusion Hosting? (storms)
No commentsBy Quinton Talley
Cold Fusion Hosting is all about databases, really. Cold Fusion, a software suite brought to us by the fine folks at Macromedia, which allows web-interactivity with databases. With Cold Fusion web hosting, you can now query, update, index, and chart databases from any web browser.
Cold Fusion hosting adds versatility and interactivity to ecommerce sites. Cold Fusion allows you to publish and then have automatically removed from your site time-sensitive content, such as flight schedules or event calendars. It adds functionality to creating and managing mailing lists and business reports. It allows you to offer your visitors printable content and customized menus.
Anytime you see .cfm as the extension on a web page, as opposed to .htm or .asp for example, you know you’re dealing with Cold Fusion Markup Language (CFML).
Though cold fusion is built on the Java platform, CFML allows web developers the benefits of Java without its inherent technical complexities. You need not know Java scripting in order to use cold fusion. CFML is a tag-based language quite similar to HTML and XML which makes it easy for anyone with even the most basic knowledge of web scripting to learn.
Cold Fusion is a server-side language which means that any web pages using CFML are read and interpreted by the Cold Fusion hosting company’s server and converted into an HTML page prior to being sent back to the user’s browser.
Cold Fusion web hosting can be significantly more expensive than other forms of web hosting, and should therefore only really be considered if its unique set of tools are relevant for your site’s intended uses. Cold Fusion hosting is usually run on Windows 2000/NT/2003 operating systems, though you can also find support for Cold Fusion hosting on Linux and Sun servers.
In addition to all the usual factors you must consider when choosing any web host - cost, disk space, bandwidth, uptime, scalability, support - you now also have to consider certain factors specific to cold fusion hosting, including: potential tag restrictions, additional security concerns, whether the cold fusion hosting company provides database support, and which version of Cold Fusion they’re using.
One type of tag restriction that is also a security concern is “high risk” tags, such as those that can be used to find and erase selected files from a server. For some larger businesses, this functionality is crucial to their operation, though potentially detrimental if accessed by the wrong hands, in which case a dedicated server is probably in order. Fortunately, cold fusion hosting is offered on shared, virtual, and dedicated servers.
Cold Fusion is well worth considering if you’d like the functionality of the Java platform with the facility of a comparatively autonomous and user-friendly software system. Especially if your website is expected to generate an income, you may find that the intimidating price tag, in the long run, turned out to be a bargain.

Servers: Dedicated or Shared?
By Quinton Talley
What is a dedicated server? A dedicated server is a web host that only serves your website. Unlike a shared server, a dedicated server is entirely your own. Although the equipment for the server is usually leased from the provider, the dedicated server is entirely yours. It serves only your website.
This means that all of the space and bandwidth afforded by the dedicated server belong to you. You are hosting your own website. You can use all of the space and bandwidth on your dedicated server for your one website, or create affiliate websites that can generate ads and revenue to your product or service website.
There are two ways to make money on the internet. You can either sell products or service to individuals or businesses, or you can make money off of ads and affiliates. You can also combine these to do both.
Suppose, for example, you have a website that sells curtains. You have a fine site where customers can shop for many different styles of curtains. When they have chosen what they want, they can put it in the shopping cart and check out. This may work well for you.
Perhaps you would like to make more money with your curtains. Maybe you would like to have more customers and sell more curtains. But you are using as much space as you can on your shared server and it cannot handle a lot more traffic. You choose to spend extra money to get a dedicated server.
Now that you have a dedicated server, you have a lot more space. Although you may be content with your curtains website the way it is, you do have unused space on your dedicated server. How can you get that to work for you?
One way to do this is to create little websites that have the sole purpose of generating revenue and directing people to your website. You can do the history of curtains for one, and write about home improvements in window treatments for another and so on. Get some cheap content loaded with keywords that will drive traffic to your site. You can advertise on your own sites for free and also use links that customers can click on that will bring them to your curtain site.
In addition, you can have as many ads as you want on your little sites. You can even sell affiliate products. If your business is curtains, affiliate products can be other home improvement products or soft domestic goods, such as pillows or bedspreads.
With your own web host, there is no limit to how much money you can make on the internet. While you may have started out just wanting to sell curtains, you can generate revenue in many other different ways. This can end up paying for your web hosting while driving more traffic to your business.
Think outside the box, if you have an internet business website, and think of ways that you can generate more revenue by incorporating ads and affiliate products into your websites by using a dedicated server as a web site host.
