ColdFusion Hosting
The term ColdFusion is often used interchangeably for two things, the CFML language, and the Adobe ColdFusion Server. Let's talk about the language a bit before we get into the server side of things.
CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) is a tag-based scripting language that was designed to be both easy-to-use and easy-tolearn, yet be powerful enough to create extremely rich and functional web applications. There are obvious benefits to being easy-to-learn and easy-to-use, and CFML accomplishes both of these tasks very well. Because CFML is tag-based, people who are already familiar with creating web sites using HTML can learn CFML easily due to the familiar syntax.
The term ColdFusion can also be used as a reference to Adobe's ColdFusion Server which was the first CFML interpreting engine and is currently the most popular engine available. Like all web scripting languages (PHP, JSP, etc), CFML code needs to be processed. The CFML Engine is what takes care of that processing. All CFML processing, no matter what engine you use, happens on the server. So if you want to run CFML code need to make sure the server you're using includes a CFML Engine. There are several different processing engines available from different companies and communities, we'll go over a few below. more.....
