Thinking about Java Web Hosting

Web space and bandwidth are cheap nowadays. Some sites like lunarpages.com offer unlimited storage and bandwidth for just $4.95 per month. With an extra $5, you can enable Java/JSP/Servlet support.

Finding a site supports Java/JSP/Servlet is not a simple task. Cheap plan means you have to share JVM with many other sites. Or for a higher price, you can have a private JVM, but the memory is allocated to your JVM is very limited. The best choice is actually a Virtual Private Server (VPS) or Virtual Dedicated Server.

VPS is a method of partitioning a physical server computer into multiple servers such that it appears as a dedicated server. That way you can have full control of your server and can install or run any programs. Web site like 1and1.com offer VPS as low as $29. For those want flexibility and power of control, VPS is a good choice.

1and1 has a policy of 90-Day Money Back Guarantee. You can always cancel the plan within this period and have the money back. If you do choose a plan, make sure to read the policy.
