Recently a client emailed us asking if we hosted Coldfusion websites. They brought it to our attention that Godaddy was discontinuing Coldfusion hosting for websites. Our answer, yes, of course we host Coldfusion websites. If you were with Godaddy and are looking for a host for your Coldfusion website, please contact us and we will make the switch seemless.
Here is the statement from Godaddy:
We emailed our customers on September 1, 2011 to let them know will discontinue ColdFusion support on November 29, 2011.
Please understand we decided to drop ColdFusion support only after seriously considering the impact on our customers. We recognize this change might disrupt some of your plans and could even put you in a situation where you have to find other solutions. To you and all our affected customers, we sincerely apologize. We hope the advanced notice gives you the time you need to make any necessary changes.
For those curious about our decision: It will let us make improvements in other areas. The truth is that only a small percentage of our customers use ColdFusion. We regret inconveniencing even a single customer but, in this case, we feel we can more efficiently and positively improve our customers’ experiences by assigning our resources elsewhere.
If you must find another solution that supports ColdFusion, we do offer dedicated and virtual dedicated servers that support it. It’s a more expensive service and might not be the right choice for everyone, but it is an option if you need it. We sincerely hope you continue to consider GoDaddy.com for any other hosting, domain, and SSL services you need in the future.
Of course, if you have any remaining questions or concerns about this change or how to manage your account, please don’t hesitate to contact our 24-hour support staff.
