Hello guys,

I am looking for a hosting solution for my Java/JSP web application. Do you know any servers which provide Tomcat hosting for v5 or greater and MySQL database?

Thanks Montecristo for quick reply. I found a discussion here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/84967/usable-jsp-servlet-hosting

If your comfortable with Linux, I'd suggest getting a VPS. A 512MB VPS on Slicehost will run you $39 a month. You'll have trouble getting Tomcat to run in 256MB, but it should be fine with 512MB.

Slicehost seems to be the favourite and it has good upgrade plans as well. I will give Slicehost a try and come back with my experience. Thank you very much for your reply.

I personally wouldn't look for a technology specific solution but something that I can use for Java and perhaps something else. In this regard VPS solutions are rather a good option since you still get managed hardware but the flexibility of you doing the software management.

I've been using Slicehost for about a year now and a friend and I have Python, PHP and now also Java web apps running on it. Just keep in mind that you probably want something that has 512MB of RAM or more if you want to run Java apps.

Linode also looks like a nice VPS provider that is a bit cheaper than Slicehost.

I suggest you to look at web hosting directory Web Hosting Companies List which lists several hosting companies and you can easily filter companies offering Java/JSP hosting service.
