Hosting Service Provider Edition Eliminated

Hosting Service Provider Edition Eliminated

The following email was sent by Jeff Whatcott, Director, ColdFusion Product Marketing / Macromedia, at Sun, 29 Apr 2001, on CF-Talk at House of Fusion:

Based on valued feedback from the community, we have changed our licensing plans for shared server hosting with ColdFusion Server 5. Here's what you need to know:

  1. We do not plan to offer a Hosting Service Provider Edition of ColdFusion Server 5 at this time.
  2. We plan to license the Professional and Enterprise editions of ColdFusion Server 5 in a way that allows you to provide shared server hosting services.
  3. We plan to introduce the Professional and Enterprise editions of ColdFusion Server 5 with the same pricing as the 4.5 release.
The broad availability of high quality, affordable ColdFusion hosting services is important to the continued growth and success of the ColdFusion community. We recognize the role of our partners in making this happen, and we encourage partners who offer hosting services to participate our hosting partner programs, including the Hosting Certification Program. Your involvement will help us better meet your needs in the future.

One of the most exciting things about the ColdFusion Server 5 release is that it was conceived based on suggestions and feedback from the ColdFusion developer community. We rely on your continued involvement. Keep it coming.

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding the ColdFusion business, including licensing and pricing issues, feel free to email me anytime. And as you start using ColdFusion Server 5 in the months ahead, be sure to send your ideas for new features and functionality to cfwish@macromedia.com.

Thanks,

Jeff Whatcott
