Let’s clear something up right now: ColdFusion isn’t dead. Far from it.

While everyone’s chasing the latest JavaScript framework that changes every 6 months, thousands of Australian businesses (law firms, logistics companies, membership sites, government departments, you name it) are quietly running rock-solid, high-performance applications on Lucee (the modern, open-source version of ColdFusion) without all the drama.

And honestly? They’re laughing. Because they’re getting things done in days that would take weeks in Node.js or PHP.

Why Smart Businesses Still Swear by Lucee / ColdFusion in 2025

• You write less code. Way less. A complex form + database grid that takes 300 lines in PHP takes about 30 in CFML.
• Built-in everything: PDF generation, Excel exports, chart libraries, web services, scheduled tasks — no npm install hell.
• Insane MSSQL & MySQL integration. If you live in the Microsoft world (and most Aussie businesses do), Lucee speaks SQL Server like a native.
• Tag-based or script syntax — write it whichever way your brain likes.
• Crazy fast development speed. One Sydney logistics company we moved over rebuilt their entire inventory + tracking system in under 2 weeks. Saved them 60+ hours a month in manual work.

Our Lucee Hosting Was Built for People Who Actually Use ColdFusion

We’ve been running ColdFusion servers since 1998. We’re not just “ticking a box” — this stuff is in our DNA.

Here’s what you actually get:

• Latest Lucee 5.x (or 6 when you’re ready) — always patched and up to date
• NVMe SSD + LiteSpeed — pages load stupidly fast
• Full CFML support (tags, script, CFScript — whatever you love)
• CommandBox ready if you’re into modern workflows and CI/CD
• Proper isolation — your app doesn’t share resources with random WordPress sites
• Automatic nightly backups + one-click restore
• Free Cloudflare CDN + real SSL (not some dodgy self-signed cert)
• Plesk control panel (because nobody has time for command-line only in 2025)
• 24/7 ColdFusion nerds on WhatsApp/Telegram who actually understand cfquery, cfstoredproc and cfthread

Real-World Example That Still Blows My Mind

A mid-sized law firm in Melbourne had a legacy Adobe ColdFusion 9 app that was costing them $1,200/month on some ancient host. We moved them to our Silver plan ($32.08/mo), upgraded them to Lucee, optimised a few queries… and their client portal now handles 10,000+ requests a day with zero hiccups. They saved over $14,000 in the first year and the app runs faster than ever.

Our Lucee-Ready Plans (Yes, They’re Crazy Cheap)

Use code 1MTHFREE and knock a whole month off your first year.

Everything above is included — no “starter” vs “pro” nonsense.

Ready to Stop Fighting Your Framework and Start Shipping Features?

If you’re tired of:

• Spending days just setting up authentication
• Wrestling with package managers
• Explaining to your boss why the site is slow again

…then come back home to Lucee.

We’ll even move your old ColdFusion app for free, zero downtime, and we’ll probably spot a few performance wins while we’re in there.

Talk soon (probably about cfqueryparam or why cfthread is still awesome in 2025 😄)
