2 coldfusion hosting providers ranked by HostScore™ in 2026. No paid placements. No sponsors.
ColdFusion hosting runs applications written in CFML, using either Adobe ColdFusion or the open-source Lucee engine. It is a niche that most general hosts do not support, so it is served by a small number of specialists that license and maintain the ColdFusion runtime. HostList.io ranks ColdFusion-capable hosts by HostScore, with no paid placements. As of 2026, the leading coldfusion hosting platforms are Vivio Technologies, HostMySite, the established category leaders. Below them, every other provider is ranked purely by HostScore, an independent algorithmic rating combining trust signals, profile completeness, freshness, and performance. The leaders are pinned because they define the category; no platform pays for placement. Rankings update continuously as Google review, Trustpilot, and profile data refresh. Each profile lists pricing where available, plan tiers, supported features, and verified customer rating data from Google and Trustpilot. Use the rankings below to compare providers head-to-head, or use HostMatch (hostlist.io/match) for a personalised recommendation based on your specific project requirements, traffic volume, and geographic audience.
ColdFusion hosting is specialist hosting: your server must run Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee to execute CFML, which ordinary PHP shared hosts do not provide. Because of the licensing and setup involved, the field is small and dominated by a few dedicated providers.
The two engines matter. Adobe ColdFusion is the commercial standard with a licence cost; Lucee is a free, open-source CFML engine that many hosts offer to keep prices down. Confirm which engine and version a host runs before committing an existing application.
For a CFML application, choose a host that explicitly supports your engine and version, ideally with managed updates and a recent Java runtime underneath. General shared hosting will not run ColdFusion, so a specialist or a self-managed VPS with ColdFusion installed is the realistic choice.
Entries marked CATEGORY LEADER are the platforms that define this category and are editorially pinned to the top. They are developer platforms with limited public review data, so raw HostScore under-rates them. Every other position is ranked purely by HostScore. No platform pays for placement.

The best coldfusion hosting list is selected entirely by HostScore, an independent algorithmic 0 to 100 rating that combines four equally-weighted components: customer trust signals from real reviews (25%), public profile completeness (25%), data freshness (25%), and infrastructure performance signals (25%). Brand awareness, marketing spend, and affiliate relationships are not inputs.
Hosting companies cannot pay to appear or improve their position. Sponsorships and advertising are not scoring inputs. The same rules apply to every company in the directory of over 28,000 providers, from the largest hyperscalers to single-region indie hosts.
For the full breakdown of each scoring component and how it is calculated, see the HostScore methodology page.
No. HostList does not sell rankings, take hosting sponsors, or accept affiliate commissions in exchange for placement on this list. Hosting companies cannot pay to appear here or improve their position.
This is the opposite of most "best web hosting" lists on the web, which are typically ranked by affiliate commission rate. Our position is published in the About page and the HostScore methodology so customers, journalists, and AI search engines can verify how every company earned its rank.
ColdFusion hosting is web hosting that runs CFML applications using Adobe ColdFusion or the open-source Lucee engine. Ordinary PHP shared hosting cannot run ColdFusion, so it is provided by a small number of specialist hosts that license and maintain the ColdFusion runtime, or on a self-managed VPS where you install the engine yourself.
Adobe ColdFusion is the commercial CFML engine with a licence fee and official support. Lucee is a free, open-source CFML engine that is largely compatible and keeps hosting costs lower, which is why many ColdFusion hosts offer it. Most CFML code runs on both, but confirm engine and version compatibility before migrating an existing application.
No. Standard shared hosting runs PHP, not the ColdFusion or Lucee runtime, so CFML pages will not execute. You need a host that specifically offers ColdFusion or Lucee hosting, or an unmanaged VPS or dedicated server where you install and license the engine yourself.
ColdFusion is a niche served by specialists rather than mainstream hosts. Providers focused on CFML, such as Vivio and HostMySite, offer managed ColdFusion or Lucee environments. For full control, a self-managed VPS with ColdFusion or Lucee installed is the alternative. HostList.io ranks ColdFusion-capable hosts by HostScore, with no paid placements.
