ColdFusion MX 7 is a popular software suite for developing and maintaining websites and dynamic components.

As part of our ongoing commitment to always making the latest technologies available to businesses of all sizes at an affordable cost (starting at only $9.95/month), LFC Hosting fully supports Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 at no additional cost with the same award-winning control through our proprietary LFC Control Panel. ColdFusion MX 7 offers significant advantages over competing services still using older versions, while retains backward compatibility over code and standards.

Among these advantages are improved support for electronic document distribution (such as Adobe Acrobat PDF and Macromedia FlashPaper 2), built-in professional business reporting, charting and graphing capabilities, automatic handling and validation of multi-step XLM forms with rich Flash controls, improved text searching, Dreamweaver Extensions with powerful tools for ColdFusion development, strong encryption support, debugging and event trapping improvements, cross-site scripting attack prevention, source-code protection, new classes for instant messaging, SMS and mobile phones, the ability to create your own gateways for emerging protocols, enhanced security, reliability, performance, and much more.

The ColdFusion MX 7 server software, which supports ColdFusion's many dynamic capabilities on the server side, requires extensive resources and is known for its memory leaks, hindering the ability of many hosts to provide good, reliable ColdFusion MX 7 hosting. At LFC Hosting, a substantial portion of our client base are ColdFusion users, and we have therefore made it a priority to provide a solid ColdFusion MX 7 hosting solution. All of our ColdFusion users are placed on dedicated CF servers specifically designed to handle the inherent problems with its back-end and provide the best possible hosting to our valued ColdFusion users.

Moreover, LFC Hosting has also invested significant research and development into proprietary features that make it easier for ColdFusion developers to deploy and manage their applications automatically in LFC's shared hosting environment.

For example, our proprietary ColdFusion DSN automation allows all DSNs added through the LFC Control Panel to be automatically setup as CF DSNs and ready to use in your ColdFusion applications. Therefore, with LFC, not only can you easily add ColdFusion DSNs instantly and automatically yourself through your Control Panel (where, with competing services, you would typically have to contact tech support), but by automatically setting up all DSNs in both ColdFusion and ODBC, a single database can be seamlessly managed by ColdFusion applications along with the valuable Microsoft ODBC-based database management tools offered by LFC.

Finally, some competing hosts require permission to review your ColdFusion files (which often takes several weeks) and implement them in an inaccessible public CGI-BIN, or limit the disk space available to house them, restricting your ability to take full advantage of ColdFusion MX 7's more advanced capabilities. With LFC, you have the freedom to implement, modify, and delete your ColdFusion files instantly at any time through FTP. The disk space occupied by your CF files is limited only by the total disk space included with your account.
