[thelist] Cold Fusion

[Seth Bienek]

"w00t!" - hopefully.

Like any other technology, bad things can happen - if it's a shared
hosting package, some functionality (like access to the server's
registry) may be disabled for security reasons.

If your code connects to a database, then obviously the hosting server
would need access to the data..

As far as static pages are concerned, they will work exactly as they
always have.  ColdFusion doesn't even process files that don't end in
one of a few specialized extensions (.cfm, .cfc, .cfml) by default.  So
any HTML/flash/jpeg files your current site uses will be served directly
by the web server without CF even being involved.

Is this answering your question?  Lemme know if you need more answers,
or if I'm way off track here.

Take Care,

Seth
