Hostek.com Launches Linux ColdFusion Hosting Service to Customers and Resellers

Web hosting provider Hostek.com, which specializes in Adobe (News - Alert) ColdFusion 9 Web hosting and Microsoft ASP.NET Web hosting, announced a new choice of Linux ColdFusion Web site hosting options to customers and resellers.

The service is offered as a cost-effective alternative to its popular Windows hosting services.

 “We have been offering Windows ColdFusion hosting services for almost ten years, and have been an Adobe Solution Partner since 2009,” said Jon Cavanaugh, director of Business Development at Hostek.com.  

Since first offering ColdFusion hosting in 2002, Hostek.com has grown to become a distinguished figure in the ColdFusion Web hosting industry, according to company officials. With the addition of ColdFusion 9 Linux hosting services to an already varied and popular choice of Windows ColdFusion plans, Hostek.com now offers an incredibly varied service range that is sure to maintain customer satisfaction and encourage future growth.

“Customers have joined and remained with Hostek.com because we truly understand ColdFusion Web site hosting and work to develop services for ColdFusion,” Cavanaugh added. “As a result of our ongoing success in this area, we are proud to give our customers and hosting resellers the chance to customize their ColdFusion 9 hosting service with a choice of operating systems.”

ColdFusion hosting provides developers with a powerful, versatile way to develop Web applications, whatever operating system it is offered on. The company’s decision to launch Linux ColdFusion 9 services comes as a result of ongoing demand for the flexibility of ColdFusion on a Linux server with Linux-specific hosting features and cPanel included as standard, according to Cavanaugh.

ColdFusion can deliver creative new Web applications consistently regardless of operating system, but it is outside of ColdFusion that the choice of Linux or Windows comes into play, according to company officials. While ColdFusion Windows hosting allows the use of alternative scripting languages such as Microsoft (News - Alert) ASP.NET or classic ASP, developers who do not use these facilities may be better suited to a Linux plan.

For example, cPanel, one of the most popular Web site control panels available, is offered as standard on all Hostek.com Linux ColdFusion 9 hosting plans. This feature-rich control panel offers unrivalled control to users of Linux Web hosting solutions. In addition, some ColdFusion developers may wish to use other common applications such as Wordpress or osCommerce and, as a matter of preference, choose to do this on Linux.

Recently Hostek.com announced partnership with leading open source Coldfusion Markup Language (CFML) engine provider Railo. With this Hostek has become the first host to achieve Railo Hosting Partner certification and launched a range of powerful new Railo Web hosting services. Want to learn more about the latest in communications and technology?
