For the servlet/JSP/JDBC + MySQL use case described by , the most important constraint is whether the host provides a servlet container (Tomcat/Jetty) and the JDK/JRE versions you need. Free hosts rarely offer that level of server access (as hinted). Paid providers vary: some offer managed Java hosting, others only PHP/cPanel plans. and pointed to reputable hosts, but the key is confirming Java support rather than brand alone.

Typical hosting options and tradeoffs:

  • Shared hosting with Java support: easiest/cheapest if you find it, but often limited in JVM version, memory, and process control.
  • VPS or dedicated: full control, deploy any servlet container, better for multiple domains and heavy apps.
  • Managed PaaS (Heroku, AWS Elastic Beanstalk): handles JVM, scaling and deployments for you; higher ongoing cost but less ops work. See Apache Tomcat docs for servlet basics and AWS Elastic Beanstalk for a managed Java option: Apache Tomcat | AWS Elastic Beanstalk Java.

Checklist before buying:

  • Confirm supported JDK/JRE and servlet container versions.
  • Confirm ability to deploy WARs, set up JDBC/JNDI datasource, and install JDBC drivers.
  • Database details: MySQL version, max DB size, backups, and whether the DB is local or remote.
  • SSH/root access, memory limits, and process control if your app needs it.
  • Clarify "unlimited domains/email" and email sending limits in the AUP.

Quick test plan: spin up a trial account or cheap VPS, deploy a simple WAR that uses a MySQL connection pool, and run load checks. That will expose limits faster than marketing claims.

I've heard a lot of good things about rackspace. They seem to have a great service (it is pretty expensive though).
