ColdFusion 9 Hosting Status Update

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

After many days of testing, installing the latest systems we can confirm the features and server software on our ColdFusion services:

  • CentOS 5 32Bit
  • LxAdmin/Kloxo Control Panel (Same as our Railo hosting)
  • ColdFusion 9 Enterprise
  • MySQL 5
  • PHP 5
  • PHP Ming Enabled
  • FFmpeg

Why 32Bit operating system, the main reason is due to the control panel we want to use. LxAdmin/Kloxo is supported mainly for 32bit and as we want to provide the most stable solutions possible.

Once we have tested each area is working fine and we are happy with these systems we will release the beta stage of our services to a select group of users to test and play. This will be done this week hopefully, if you would like to register your interest for the beta testing please contact us.

Please note some tags will be restricted such as “cfexecute”, “cfregister”, “cfobject” etc for security reasons.

UPDATE: 31/August/2010 : 13:58 UK TIME

We have had a few questions about ColdFusion datasource names (DSN) and how the process will be in creating them, as unlike Railo users will not able to have access to the Admin area of ColdFusion. Well the answer from our tech team is nice and simple, we will be creating an online form which all users that have ordered ColdFusion hosting will be able to access to create DSN’s within the client area of Host Media UK. We will later look into developing a Kloxo control panel addon to manage datasource names.

This will be released soon after the public release of the hosting and for the mean time anyone who requires a DSN created will be able to open a support ticket with the database details so our team can manually create one for you.

Railo Server Upgrade

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Over the past few days we have been testing our new upgrades to our Railo servers in Washington and preparing for even more upgrades to the servers within the next 2 months.

The main update to the servers have been the CPU power to allow for better handling of Railo, with this increase in performance power more powerful ColdFusion & Railo scripts can be run without decrease in server speed.

Many of our customers have already notices an increase in script speeds and with the future upgrades planned we hope to have the very best Railo hosting servers out today.
