More info & hosting plans supporting FarCry

FAST.hit's windows hosting plans support FarCry CMS. This commercially designed and maintained application is favoured by many developers for its power, extensibility, and separation of code, design and content. With all the features one would expect of an application developed for government and corporate departments, design work for inhouse projects and non-technical clients alike becomes far more efficient and effective with FarCry.

Our Support Team provides the necessary assistance to setup or migrate FarCry sites to FAST.hit

Before we started offering shared FarCry hosting, we tested our platform for a number of months to make sure that FarCry sites that we host "can live together" in our shared hosting environment. Now our system is tuned up and we're able to provide the required support to setup and migrate existing sites to our system.

Usually the process of moving a site to FAST.hit is simple:
1. We create the default installation
2. You upload the database and your template and graphic files
3. Use updateapp=1 to refresh the site

The only thing you need to watch when moving your site to us are the table names in the database. Since our mySQL server runs on Unix, the table names are case sensitive (if you run mySQL on Windows, the table names created are all lower case). HOWEVER, you're welcome to just upload your .sql file to your account and we'll import your database into our system the way it should be.

FarCry is a proven enterprise level content management system.

FarCry was developed by Daemon over 4 years of working with government and corporate clients to develop a content management solution that was feature rich, affordable, open, flexible and extensible. FarCry includes a comprehensive list of features and functions that may be required by your team including distributed authoring, granular security, LDAP integration, workflow and completely browser-based administration.

By using FarCry you will not be gambling on the potential creation of a “ground up” solution and potential risks to the project timeline.

FarCry clearly separates content from design.

FarCry has the concept of look and feel treatments (known as “webskins”) that can be easily integrated into the underlying content management system. This enables the look of a site to be easily updated to remain current without requiring substantial redevelopment. The separation of content and design also assists in the adherence to accessibility and usability guidelines by making this purely a function of the presentation layer. Multiple presentation styles may even be used to meet the different requirements of different users.

FarCry templates ensure consistent presentation.

FarCry uses a template system to control the way in which various elements within a web page are pulled together for the user. These elements may include navigation items (such as primary navigation, secondary navigation, breadcrumbs, related links or site maps), files, images, text content or even mini applications.

FarCry is 100% built in Macromedia ColdFusion.

FarCry has been completely rewritten to take advantage of the latest version of ColdFusion, ColdFusion MX. You can therefore be confident of very strong developer community should this be required in the future.

The use of ColdFusion gives you a significant number of other benefits including the integrated Verity K2 search engine and integrated charting. ColdFusion also runs on a wide number of web and application server platforms allowing you to make platform decision while knowing that their CMS will continue to operate.

FarCry has an object-oriented approach to content management.

This approach allows FarCry to easily adapt to handle a wide range of content types that may be required now or into the future. Some of the content types already available for FarCry include HTML pages, news, events, facts, polls, competitions, careers, FAQs, tenders and many more. No matter what your future requirements, we believe FarCry will be able to fit the bill.
