Hi,
Thanks in advance for any help. I am using the studio MX and im not sure what Coldfusion actually is. Is this an FTP sever or a host sever? I guess in retrospect I need to know what I need to use this studio MX product..

After installing the coldfusion part of the software I noticed where it said this is a developer edition for use on the local host machine and on one remote ip address, it is not licensed for use for deployment. What does this mean? If coldfusion is a host server does this mean I can use it to host a site on my own ip address but I would need a license to build a site on another ip address?

Thanks for any help. Im trying very hard to understand all of this but its confusing.

Coldfusion is an application server. Like ASP and PHP.

The developer license means you can have a 'localhost' version running for development purposes but you may not host sites publically using this license. For that i imagine you'll require an enterprise-level license which will cost loads.

So you'll be better off finding a host on the net that supports CFM.

Hi thanks for your reply.
Im still a bit confused though. IM guessing now I still need an FTP server and a host server right? Is the application server in coldfusion just something I need to use coldfusion with dreamweaver? Are there any sites out there that provide FTP & Host serving combined that will support coldfusion?

Thanks again,
Jill
