Cheap Servlet Hosting? 11
deander2 asks: "I'm a Web developer specializing in Java servlets. I'm looking for a basic Web-hosting solution that can (cheaply) provide e-mail and the ability to test and run my own personal programs. However, everywhere I go the only packages available with servlet options cost $80+/month, MUCH more than justified for a personal Web site. I ask Slashdot: Are there any hosting companies which offer personal Web hosting with servlet capabilities in the sub $20/month category? Am I asking too much here? Is getting a corporate account the only way to go if I want to show off my work?"
Third Level domain name support?? (Score:1)
I currently own (my-surname).com and I really want to be able to host my pages on (my-firstname).(my-surname).com ->pretty cool, eh?
However, I can't seem to find many affordable hosts that support virtual servers for third level domains. Also, third level domain name support is not a feature that I can find in any of the hosting directories.

Servlets on a SIMM (Score:1)
I have one of these , for my final year project, and they're pretty cool. These [smartsc.com] guys have written some GPL code that lets you run servlets. Of course, you'd probably better not plan on getting too many hits - It doesn't seem to handle too many hits too well! Well, it is only 103mm by 32mm by 10mm, so what can you expect
(I know this is kinda off-topic, but, well, so what)

It's also extremely insecure to have people sharing the memory space.
This is easily worked around if the hosting company uses JServ, knows about servlet zones and has a boatload of RAM to devote to each account, which is where the expense comes in. To have a secure environment to run your servlets in you need your own chunk of 16+ megs of RAM, which gets pretty expensive for the hosting company.

I used them to actually run a commerical site, but for personal development I just got an old P90 and put RedHat, Apache, jserv and mySQL on it to test my stuff with. It was much easier being able to do anything I wanted to the server and DB for testing, plus I had like 4 GB of space. If you have the time and don't need reliable or fast access, I'd suggest you go that route.
