CFMLdeveloper.com launches FREE Railo hosting

July 7th, 2010 admin

CFMLDeveloper.com is a community and resource for CFML developers or anyone interested in learning or Evaluating ColdFusion, offering FREE developer hosting as well as social networking tools and resources.

While CFML (ColdFusion, Railo) is a powerful language that is easy to learn the basics and work with and produces results fast, like any other language it still requires you to install, configure and run a number of services to provide an effective development environment. At minimum this includes the ColdFusion/Railo application Server, a web server, an SMTP server (for sending emails via your web pages), a RDBMS such as MySQL or MSSQL. This requires a certain amount of technical knowledge, time and a powerful enough machine with enough memory to run all these services and to be fair JAVA can be a royal pain when it doesn’t work properly.
Certainly a lot of hassle when all you want to do is start writing some CFML code right?  CFMLDeveloper takes away all this hassle and provides developers with a ready to go development and testing environment

When signing up for a FREE CFMLDeveloper hosting account, you get your own web space to host and develop Coldfusion or Railo applications on a full Coldfusion enterprise ediiton server with full debugging enabled. You also get access to a whole host of features via the control panel including:-

MySQL DatabasesFull FTP AccessPassword protected foldersURL rewritingDNS Zone edtorDomain ManagementDatabase Managemnt (via PHPMyAdmin)File ManagerVirtual DirectoriesData Source NamesCustom TagsVerity CollectionsFlash RemotingData SourcesRDC for ColdFusion

Liquid Web among firms to push cloud computing

July 5th, 2010 admin

Cloud computing used to be one of those wispy technical phrases that was hard to define.

Was it a new name for outsourcing? A different kind of computer network? Or just marketing nonsense?

But the overcast outlook is beginning to clear.

With cloud computing, shared resources, software and information are provided on demand. Customers pay only for what they use and they can temporarily boost their server space to deal with high-volume traffic to their Web sites.

His reason: Cloud computing is an inexpensive way to launch a new business for which demand is unknown.

And it’s drawing players large and small. Software titan Microsoft Corp.  is dabbling in it. So is conglomerate 3M.

Locally, a Delta Township company is seeing a sizable expansion in the cloud computing arena.

In January, Liquid Web Inc. , founded by Matt Hill, launched “Storm on Demand,” its own cloud hosting platform.

Rather than commit to buying or leasing computers, telecommunications lines and data storage, Graham rents them.

3M’s new business, called Visual Attention Service, lends itself to cloud computing. 3M software analyzes advertising agency photos to help determine, in less than a minute, whether the picture actually directs a customer’s eye to the object being sold.

This work has typically been done by experts but 3M’s automated process is cheap and quick.

But will it sell?

Since 3M can’t predict the demand for the service, introduced in January, it didn’t want to commit to long-term data center use. Graham’s new business has become a cloud computing pilot project that the rest of 3M is watching.

Small business use

If it works, 3M could be one of the first big corporations to widely adopt cloud computing, which so far has attracted mainly small and medium-sized businesses seeking to lower costs.

Big companies, which have voiced more concerns about privacy and security, haven’t embraced it.

But cloud computing providers are pushing it hard.

Besides Microsoft, St. Paul-based Lawson Software Inc. and Eden Prairie, Minn.-based VISI Inc. are renting out their data centers for cloud computing.

“Most of our customers are small businesses with five to 500 employees,” said Johnny Hatch, VISI’s product manager for computer hosting operations.

“They can sign up online and start using the service. We can set up a server for them in about a minute.”

Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft is aiming for bigger corporations, and admits it’s a hard sell.

“Retailers and manufacturers are the most amenable to cloud computing” because its flexibility accommodates annual variations in their employment rolls, said Donald Leeke, general manager of Microsoft’s seven-state North Central District.

“Financial services and health care are slower to adopt it” because of privacy concerns.

A megatrend?

Some in the computer industry consider cloud computing a megatrend.

“We are in the midst of a transition in how computing services are delivered,” industry journal CIO Magazine wrote recently. “We are moving from a custom, manually-intensive, expensive approach to a standardized, automated, inexpensive approach.”

Leeke said cloud computing can save customers 20 percent to 30 percent of their IT costs. Changes can be made quickly.

“I can turn on 10,000 users tomorrow if you want,” Leeke said.

For customers who aren’t ready to embrace remote data centers, Microsoft is developing an intermediate solution.

Computer centers shared by many corporations are called the “public cloud,” but it’s possible to create a smaller “private cloud” within a company. That way, company divisions would be able to get on-demand, pay-by-the-hour computing service to better manage their budgets.

New data center

The privately owned Web hosting company, with about $27 million in revenue in 2009, opened a new, $80 million, 90,000-square-foot data center and headquarters last fall in Delta Township and a software development office in May in Scottsdale, Ariz. It has been ramping up its work force to support its new product.

Liquid Web, which has two other sites in Delta Township, employs 200 and is averaging four to 10 new hires a month, said spokesman Travis Stoliker.

Hill plans to have more than 600 employees and 25,000 computer servers in about three years as part of an overall expansion.

“Cloud computing in general is a rather new market, so the size of the market isn’t quite as large, but we’re seeing most of the growth come from the cloud computing side,” he said. “That’s mainly fueled by all of the advantages cloud computing provides compared to traditional hosting.”

‘Next evolution’

Stoliker said he expects more Web companies offer the new technology, which he called “the next evolution of the Internet.”

“You’ll see literally everybody from municipalities to government to corporations all adopting cloud computing over the next five years,” Stoliker said.

Just ask Jim Graham, a 3M Co. technical manager, who has launched a new software business from his St. Paul, Minn., research lab without using any 3M computers. Instead it lives “in the cloud,” which means 3M’s software resides on computers in Microsoft Corp. data centers around the world.

Web Host SingleHop Unveils Turn-key Cloud Reseller System

July 2nd, 2010 admin

Dedicated servers and other web hosting solutions provider SingleHop (www.singlehop.com) has launched the first-of-its-kind cloud hosting reseller system, the Cascade Platform.

According to SingleHop’s Wednesday announcement, the Chicago-based Web host will offering Cascade’s turn-key cloud hosting to resellers under SingleHop’s reseller brand Tandem. Cascade will let resellers seamlessly create, and manage virtual machines using SingleHop’s LEAP control panel, and then have the ability to sell them with fully customized control panels for the end-user in more than 15 languages.

Earlier this year, SingleHop launched the Tandem Reseller system, which offers resellers enhanced control, greater sales potential, and higher margins.

“Tandem revolutionized the reseller market,” SingleHop president and chief executive officer Zak Boca said in a statement. “It was the first to offer the end-user a fully white-labeled control panel. Tandem also gained notoriety amongst web hosters by providing unlimited SSL certificates, among other exclusive offers.”

The Cloud hosting reseller system is scheduled to launch July 17, prior to the Web hosting industry’s major annual convention, HostingCon, in which SingleHop executives will present sessions on Cascade and other topics of interest to the hosting community.

Since its launch in 2006, SingleHop has become one of the fastest-growing providers of dedicated and complex hosting solutions, and has achieved a dominant position in this sector. Cascade is the latest offering in SingleHop’s continuing effort to offer innovative solutions for end users and resellers.

In 2008, SingleHop introduced LEAP, an advanced control panel, designed to give customers complete control over their infrastructure, and has since adapted to suit customers, providing access options including the iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Firefox toolbar, and various widgets.

“Adoption of cloud computing technologies by hosting providers has not yet hit a tipping point, because we feel hosting companies haven’t had the necessary components to easily bring a product to market.” Boca said. “We feel that our unique combination of technologies, LEAP, Tandem, and Cascade will change the landscape, and will further enable adoption of cloud computing in the hosting world.”

Stabroek News website in the clear-Google

July 1st, 2010 admin
Internet search giant Google says that the Stabroek News website has not hosted malicious software over the last 90 days and that it “is not currently listed as suspicious.” Google said that over the last 90 days the website www.stabroeknews.com “appeared to function as an intermediary for the infection of 1 site(s)” and that it was “listed for suspicious activity 1 time(s) over the past 90 days.”   This had resulted in the internet search giant temporarily issuing a security advisory listing the Stabroek News website as “suspicious” for several hours on Saturday.  However, full access to the website was restored at 9 pm on Saturday. Stabroek News technical staffer Kester Clarke said that on Friday one of the newspaper company’s web servers was targeted by an unknown attacker. The attack was first observed at 11 pm, and the attacker was able to serve malicious software to visitors on the website on 7 of its pages.  According to Clarke, at about 2:30 am on Saturday “the malicious software was removed from the server and the weakness plugged by our technical staff along with the assistance of our Web Host.”  The problem, Clarke explained, was solved using an automated system.  He said too that efforts are ongoing to prevent such problems from recurring. By the time the problem was fixed, Clarke said that Google’s Search Advisory had already scanned the infected pages and had begun notifying users of Mozilla Firefox as well as visitors arriving through search engine results that the Stabroek News website might be harmful to their computer. However, during this time, persons using Internet Explorer had no difficulty in accessing the Stabroek News website, Clarke pointed out. Google in their latest diagnostic test of the website said that the last time suspicious content was found was on Saturday. It said too that “of the 360 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 7 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent.” The last time Google visited the site was on Monday. Clarke explained that the malicious software was linked back to the website dhfyjrud321.com  which was established sometime on Friday.  It is unclear whether this site was created locally, but Clarke said that this was a possibility. An article appeared in last Sunday’s Guyana Chronicle captioned “Google warns against visiting Stabroek News website; paper sorting problem out with Google”. The article quoted one Michael Jebbs, a security adviser at Google Inc, as saying that “the company had launched an investigation into the operations of Stabroek News after receiving complaints from a U.S Internet Spyware watchdog and dozens of users in the United States alleging that Stabroek News has been installing spyware and malicious software onto the computers of visitors to their website.” The Guyana Chronicle has to date not carried a follow-up story clarifying that the problem had been solved and was not attributable to SN. Meanwhile, Clarke said that prior to Friday there had been two complaints from visitors to the Stabroek News website about them receiving spyware after visiting but that these were investigated and proven to be false. He said on both occasions, the spyware had come from other sites that the persons had visited. SN Editor-in-Chief Anand Persaud said Guyana Publications Inc. will do whatever is necessary to further bolster the security of the website. He said the website is patronized by thousands every day both here and in the diaspora. He added that on a regular basis there are attempts to attack the website but these have been repulsed by the multi-layered security protecting the website and its servers.  He said that since the Saturday incident website traffic has returned to normal.
