But hosting costs will be about the same as the USP is "Reasonably
robust database connectivity".
I would expect CF to have a more robust security model (don't
know PHP well enough, but if I was Allaire/MM I'd be very keen
to have this), so risk-based pricing would suggest that CF hosting
might be a bit cheaper.
In each case, the capital cost of a CF server license to a sizable hosting
company is negligible compared to the variable costs involved.
Cheers
Martin
