9 Planets Lucee Hosting review
Affordable shared Lucee hosting with core tools for small CFML sites.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
9 Planets Lucee Hosting is shared hosting for Lucee-based CFML websites and applications. It suits small CFML projects, production business applications and larger sites that need a Lucee runtime with familiar hosting controls. Every listed plan includes Lucee CFML, MariaDB, DirectAdmin, free SSL and a defined storage and bandwidth allocation. Accounts generally receive SSH access, and each account supports up to two primary domains.
The pricing structure is straightforward, with three quarterly-billed plans. Lucee 3GB costs $9 per month and includes 3 GB storage and 100 GB bandwidth. Lucee 15GB costs $22 per month with 15 GB storage and 300 GB bandwidth, while Lucee 30GB costs $42 per month with 30 GB storage and 750 GB bandwidth. All three plans retain the same core stack, so the paid upgrades add capacity rather than a different runtime or control panel. This makes the entry plan a clear fit for smaller sites, while the larger tiers are aimed at projects with greater storage or bandwidth needs.
The strongest feature set is the practical hosting foundation: Lucee, MariaDB, DirectAdmin, nightly automated backups, SSL and SSH access are combined in one shared environment. The trade-off is focus. This is Lucee hosting rather than Adobe ColdFusion hosting, and the hosting type is shared, which may not suit applications requiring dedicated resources. The listed platform is web, so it is most appropriate for browser-accessed sites and applications rather than a broader platform ecosystem. Choose it for a focused, lower-cost Lucee deployment; consider another option when Adobe licensing or dedicated hosting is central to the project.
