Key Reason to not use ColdFusion 8

  1. Adobe is no longer providing security updates for ColdFusion 8. ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion 11 have been out for a while now. No fault to Adobe here. That is the general process of software.

Other Important Reasons to not use ColdFusion 8

  1. Vulnerabilities exists in ColdFusion 8. Protect yourself!
  2. You should stay current with software.
  3. ColdFusion 10 is faster than ColdFusion 8 and ColdFusion 11 is faster than ColdFusion 10.
  4. Newer versions will have more features.

Will my site work with ColdFusion 10 or ColdFusion 11?

  1. In most cases, yes, without any changes. We have migrated thousands of sites from ColdFusion 6, 7 and 8 to ColdFusion 10 and/or 11 and have only seen a few sites that did not work without some minor changes.
  2. We have been able to work with the developer and site owners to get the needed changes made to their application. If the changes are fairly small and don't require a whole lot of time, we have provided this service for free. We want you on the latest ColdFusion versions for your security.
