Can Linux host ColdFusion web pages?
linux can host any webpage with the following extentions
php, htm, html and more
if your webpages has one of the above extentions then Yes Linux can host it
but if it has asp, aspx, vb, vbs extentions then I don't think it will work on Linux
Macromedia Coldfusion?
does any version of Coldfusion support multiple site hosting like IIS?
If you are referring to hosting multiple sites on the SAME server, then you need ColdFusion MX 6.1 or 7. CF can be installed to se JRUN4 and use J2EE, and that will give you the capability of running multiple instances of the server. Here is a handy guide from Adobe (which bought out Macromedia) that shows you how to properly install CF to use multiple instances:

Can a Linux-based Web Server host a website made in ColdFusion?
the first good answer will be chosen as 'best answer'!
Thanks
Yessum, though you'll need to purchase Cold Fusion. Last I knew of it wasn't free.

Technical definitions in english, please: Coldfusion, ASP, XML, etc.?
I'm trying (for the first time!) to build a database-driven dynamic website and am lost in the terminology.
Could someone explain the following:
The difference between Coldfusion and .NET? Are they roughly equivilant programs from different vendors?
How does ASP relate to ColdFusion? Is ColdFusion a way of implementing ASP, or something else entirely?
What, exactly, is ColdFusion is used for? I've read that it "gives database backend to web-based front end connectivity", but that's all greek to me. I'd really like specific, real world examples of what ColdFusion can (and is) used for.
Plain english definitions of some of the terms that typically are often used with CF (such as ASP, PHP, Access-- how does it all connect)?
Does it matter what database I use (e.g. is Access 2003 okay for a relatively simple database that will be used by ColdFusion and Dreamweaver?
Are there any special considerations in web hosting that I will have to allow for because I'm using CF?
.Net is a microsoft framework language. It's like, a foundation of a house kind of (loose analogy)
Coldfusion is a program, .NET is a framework language.
ASP (specificall ASP.NET) can be implemented via Coldfusion's GUI. If you've got .aspx server controls on your server, Coldfusion can do its thing on those for DB reports.
ColdFusion in the capacticy I've used it for, is a reporting mechanism; like a inhouse dataminer on Steriods. If you've got it running agains a ASP database, then now you can run custom-written reports against this database and gather information (simlar to CrystalReports).
ASP = Programming Language typically for Database-related interfaces; like webSites that interface with DB's (.aspx file extensions
PHP = Scripting language for Web Development. Dynamic content and web site creation
Access = Microsoft's Database management tool; SQL based tool, similar to Oracle except that its got a User interface instead of being Text driven.
It shouldn't matter, because ColdFusion and Dreamweaver should both support SQL databases... or at least be configured to be able to. However, I would look into ASP
None that I'm aware of... make sure the hosting site doesn't care about implementing .php on the site (they shouldn't since you're paying for just space.. not content)
ColdFusion and Dreamweaver? / other things needed?
I've just got the new Coldfusion 8 that just came out in beta and the beta hosting has well. Dreamweaver is metioned breifly in almost everything I see about it, is somehting I have to have or optional. From what i can tell its not but I want to make sure. Also is there anything else I should have?
If you've got ColdFusion 8 installed and running you do not need anything else.
Dreamweaver would simply be used as the editor for your cfm/cfc files but as you assumed, it is not required. You can use any editor to create/modify those files. Anything from DreamWeaver to GoLive to CFEclipe to Notepad. Its what ever you're comfortable using.
How difficult is it to host a web site that I create?
I use PHP, ColdFusion and ASP for my sites (seperately) and find that it is difficult and annoying to have to create the site on a different server and then port it to the host of my clients choice. I would like to host at least a few of the lower bandwidth/hit sites?
What does this entail and is it worth the effort or should I continue to rework a site for different hosts.
Get a Windows box and a *nix box and host them accordingly yourself.
or
Find a host (99% do this) and get an account to set up your sites there and pay someone to do it for you. Get a Windows account for CF and ASP based sites and a *nix account for PHP sites.
It'd probably be a lot cheaper to host yourself in the long run, but if you get paid hosting, maybe you should stick with one discipline. I used to do CF and PHP. I decided PHP was better and stuck with that.
Nevermind the fact Windows hosting and such is inferior IMO.
Ruby on Rails or ColdFusion? Which one shall I go for?
Hosting is not an issue for me. I use GoDaddy which hosts both very cheaply.
Thanks for your answers.

Any idea about a relatively cheap & good quality web host with ColdFusion support?
Or maybe an honest and independent web site for comparing hosts?
I think http://www.cfhosting.com is cheap and good quality
