CIT now offers hosting for ColdFusion Web applications at the NIH Computer Center.  This service provides a production-quality environment for ColdFusion applications using the latest ColdFusion technologies.

You can develop your ColdFusion application locally and, when ready for production, move your code to a CIT ColdFusion server.  You don’t have to worry about acquiring server hardware, upgrading the operating system, installing or configuring the ColdFusion server software, monitoring the security of the Web server, or maintaining network connectivity.  All this is taken care of by CIT staff.

The CIT ColdFusion servers run on the Windows 2000 platform and use the latest release of the ColdFusion Enterprise Server (Version 5), in conjunction with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) Version 5.  The ColdFusion servers are housed in the NIH Computer Center which provides a physically-secure environment, temperature and humidity controls, and an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS).

Standard ColdFusion Hosting Service

Standard service cost is $200 per month—plus a onetime $200 setup fee.

CIT’s Standard ColdFusion hosting service provides dependable and economical hosting for small-to-medium size applications.  This service is appropriate for individuals or organizations that are exploring the advantages of ColdFusion applications, or who use ColdFusion as a quick way to provide dynamic Web applications for their labs or offices.  The Standard service applications share a ColdFusion server, but can each have a unique “virtual” Web address. 

Each application using CIT’s Standard ColdFusion service is provided with:

• up to 500 MB disk space
• 7 x 24 server monitoring
• access to a staging ColdFusion server for pre-production testing

Extended ColdFusion Hosting Services

If an application requires resources beyond those provided by the Standard ColdFusion hosting service, the service can be tailored to an organization’s requirements.  These “Extended” ColdFusion hosting services include additional processing capability (even a dedicated server, if appropriate), more frequent reports, and security certificates. 

Extended service costs depend on the features selected. Please contact us for more information and pricing.
