RE: [OT] JSP/Servlet Hosting
Hey there
I am getting a little concerned about Java's position as far as a
development language for the web. The reason I say this is because trying to
find good, reliable hosting at a competitive price, by competitive I mean
against the price of hosting PHP based sites, is almost impossible. You
either have a situation where the company claims to support Tomcat but then
only allows JSP's or they allow both JSP's and Servlets but not
servlet-mappings via web.xml.
The there are the companies who do claim to provide full support on VPS
plans but when it comes to getting Apache and Tomcat properly set-up things
go pear shaped and the whole thing falls apart. Finally when one does find a
company that meets all the criteria the price is usually at least $200+
above what the same site would cost to host if it was written in PHP. No
weird configurations or big name enterprise application server are included
in these plans.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue or am I to understand that PHP
should be your standard web development language and Java should only be
used for HUGE enterprise type application development?
Kind Regards

The one and only suggestion that I would have for you is to find a
dedicated server to host you applications on. After searching high and
low for a hosting service for my applications I finally came to the
reality that if I was ever to be happy it would be only when I had my
own server to host my applications on. This is where ServerBeach came
in. they have some very low cost services and I have had great success
with them getting my applications to the internet market.
If not ServerBeach.com then a service similar to this. This is just who
I use and would recommend.
Thanks

We've been using eapps.com and we've been pretty happy with the
service. Essentially we get our own installation of tomcat, with an
apache front-end that they manage.
