Fresh Jobs for Developers Post a job opportunity
Here are the features I am looking for.
* Private jvm so that I can have the full control of the container.
* As much heap size as possible to start off with and it should not be expensive to get more heap size if needed.
* Reliability and Uptime,of course.
* Great customer service - the support staff should be expert in this area.
* Get the best possible value for money.
I an interested in knowing from your personal experiences about the different JSP/Servlet Hosting providers you might have used/heard.
Thanks

Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting
I have heared a lot of good things about http://www.rimuhosting.com/Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting
http://www.dailyrazor.com looks good. I'm considering that one, but would like others opions on it, if possibleRe: JSP/Servlet Hosting
http://www.contegix.com/Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting
I went with dailyrazor.com - when I was selecting them, they seemed to have the most reasonable prices, and had the full range of options (t.e. from a shared Tomcat to dedicated servers). They had reasonable prices. Their tech support was very good to - much better than the support for godaddy.com (specifically concerning java/jsp support) - they were very knowledgeable and responded quickly.btw, I'm not associated with dailyrazor, just a happy customer.
Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting
What plan are you using? How about resources, uptime and speed?Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting
I use http://www.hostforweb.comThey have very good offers, they are reliable and their support is very fast.
Saludos.
Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting
I've been using http://www.eapps.com for a couple of years now. Good reliability, good support. But very expensive to get extra JVM heap space.Why not a cheap dedicated server?
If you are willing to pay a bit more ($60-$70/month) maybe you'd want to have a look at a dedicated server at www.aitcom.net.I've been with them for about a year and a half (and it's costing me less than $50/month) and so far haven't had any big problems.
It allows me to use whatever JDK I decide, whatever container I choose (currently JBoss), all the heap space for me and me only
Of course, I neither require nor need tech support regarding the java stuff or basic linux administration, so I don't know how their tech support handles issues.
Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting
Agreed. Hostforweb.com has been very reliable and committed to fixing my problems when they occur.Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting
I should clarify that I am on a VPS2 with Hostforweb - allowing my to install my own JVM, Tomcat, Apache, Subversion, etc. that I want.Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting
I've been using unixhost.com for the past week - so far so good. Godaddy didn't let me host multiple domains - that was a must for me.If you can install/configure java/tomcat from a command prompt, its a good way to go.

Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting - Try Virtual Private Server for max. flexibility
I have been using VPS hosting from WestHost for about 5 years now.You get the flexibilities of a dedicated solution:
1. My choice of JSP/Servlet container - Tomcat/JRun etc.
2. Full flexibility to configure my Apache web server, mail server etc.
3. Cron jobs, SSH access, Multiple server instances etc.
In short full flexibility at the cost of shared hosting. The lowest plan starts from 6.99. Very good uptime and speed. You can check my servers for speed (just don't abuse them

Re: JSP/Servlet Hosting
Why not put up your own dedicated server, the cost of permanent IP and hardware should be less (or not that more) than what's out there, and you would have the luxury of using whatever technology you'll want.Metawerx
I've been using Metawerx for nearly 5 years. Initially, they provided hosting services, then one year ago we moved to a private server which Metawerx administers for us.Metawerx specialises in J2EE and their server configurations are very flexible. The biggest advantage I found is that our contact, Neale Rudd, is very experienced in Java and J2EE configuration. As a result, technical support and emergency support is very good (and prompt).
Now we have our own server. Metawerx does all the monitoring, configuartion, and maintenance of the J2EE portion so we don't have to worry about it. The price isn't the cheapest, but the peace of mind and reliability are worth it.
If you are looking at a virtual server, maintaining the server and J2EE stack is a major overhead. I would only do it if you have a large number of systems or contractual requirements regarding data integrity. These were the motivations that prompted us to go for an administered virtual server.
