CFMLDeveloper.com provides web space for CFML(ColdFusion Markup Language) developers to learn, develop and host CFML applications without the hassle of having to deal with the server side of things. Please read the ABOUT page for more details of how and why.

PLEASE NOTE: CFMLdeveloper is setup for development and is not designed to host any kind of commercial or production web site and you do so at your own risk. Because this service is used for development we have full debugging enabled, RDS and other settings which is of course not suitable for a live production environment for security and performance reasons. We also have much looser security to allow easier development, so storage of private, personal or customer data would not be recommended,

If you get stuck, please see the support pages over on the right.

As you know you can download a trial copy of ColdFusion, Railo or BlueDragon and use this locally, but most developers don't know anything about setting up a web server, and really don't want the hassle of doing this. You just want to write some CFML code, upload it somewhere and have it work, right!

There are currently 2 hosting plans available. The "FREE" plan is for those who are just dabbling/learning and don't need much space. The "Plus" plan is for pro developers who need more sites and more space. Below is a comparison chart.
Please note that you "ARE NOT" being charged for use of ColdFusion , the fees for the plus plan are simply for the extra resources  and support the plan provides.

Although the FREE plans have no ongoing charges, there is a small  setup fee. This charge is simply to stop people abusing this service for illegal and fraudulent purposes and ruiningit for the legitimate users. It solves this problem as it requires you to use a legitimate credit/debit card or paypal account, something a criminal/hacker will not do (unless he is an idiot of course).

Remember just because the service is FREE it is still a service so you are required to register with your real details.I f we see users registering with fake details, we will delete them without hesitation.

Please make sure you read our "Terms and Conditions" before using this service.
