Needless to say - I am looking for a new cold fusion hosting service. I have been using Hostmysite for about 6 years - in the beginning they were excellent, but each successive year has shown a steady decline in service and reliability. My main concern is the steady increase in downtime. Several times a week I have to wait 15, 20 minutes for them to restore cold fusion pages. They have never claimed it is my code; but they blame the situation on the fact that I am using a shared server.
Their solution: pay out 15 times the money for a vps or dedicated server. This is out of the question for my clients - they are small businesses. Their strain on any server is infinitesimal - it is hard to see why they should pay for a dedicated server.
Last year I was on vacation when one of their weekly crashes occurred - since December of this year, I've had to wait numerous times for Hostmysite to reboot, or restart, or whatever - I've had it.
Surely there is a hosting service out there that offers a stable shared platform ? Or is Cold Fusion inherently unstable in a shared environment - do I need to switch to Linux/mysql for a reasonable cost, stable platform?
