Cheap Java Web Hosting
Submitted by Ahmed Hashim on Fri, 2006-10-27 20:20.
One of the problem of the java web application is the hosting servers. Corporates can buy servers to host their application, but they should buy a high configuration server to be able to run Application servers like IBM WebSphere, Bea Web Logic or JBoss AS. While the communities can not find a suitanle, cheap hosting. The prices of the dedicated hosting which will suite a java hosting will range from 250-300$ per month.
I am thinking as a Java community to have web hosting for Java application for reasonable price.
You can develop and host for Free
If you didn't know before about this site.
MyJavaServer www.myjavaserver.com . (old name
MyCgiServer)
It provides a development environment for Java web
applications.
It is for free if you passed the signup java testing challenge
I used to develop small java web projects in the past and I hosted them there.

I know the MyJavaServer give
I know the MyJavaServer give free J2ee hosting but it is for development environment as you mentioned, what about production environment? This is the point, to have J2EE server for production you will pay a lot. For example, we can't host a J2EE CMS for Egjug, we can't use JSP chat and we won't be able to deploy our new project when we finish it isA.
By the way, I have an account in MyJavaServer ;)

It is nice to hear from you,
It is nice to hear from you, and I am not against the point, put providing hosting environment especially for Entrprise Java application is not an easy task to maintain or to Administrate.
I still has an information that you may not checked in MyJavaserver :). but you have to be a member user to know about it.
MyJavaServer in the begining was made for java developers to help them host and deploy their java web application. (Servlets and JSPs) later on there were a project that were limited to the contributers to the site (Donation base which can be by 50$ for life time)
This project is called MCS2, If you are member you can login first and you will see the link to the project in the left side panel.
This project is made to provide free hosting (for contributers) for J2EE and WAR Application. Also they are providing hosting your domain and have different servers for hosting with the latest technology.
I don't know if it is still accept contribution till now or not, but check it may be worthy to start.
This can be a start till you can establish the EGJUG Java Hosting services isA.

SAThanks Eng.Mohamed for
SA
Thanks Eng.Mohamed for your reply
My Objective is to provide Java hosting for 100$ per year.
I didn't notice the MCS2 project before! although I had an account and tried to deploy an application before!
I think they still accept contribution.
What about full featured J2EE hosting (EJB, Web Services...etc) using Geronimo application server?
