Java EE Hosting

[Treimin Clark]

Where can I find a Free Java EE hosting provider, with a free application server (like Glassfish) ?

[Ulf Dittmer]

You won't. A couple of free servlet/JSP hosts exist, but for an app server you'll have to spend money.

Joe,

That link is not helpful on my requirements, as I need an application server. I can search on Google to find many. But I need the cheapest and trusted provider. Please help.

Did you scroll down the page to the question "What are some web hosting companies that support servlets/JSP?". That sounds exactly what you are looking for.

Joe, it seems you missed the point. I'm finding for application server. The list contains Servlet/Jsp providers. Most of the Servlet/Jsp hosting providers are do not provide an application server like Glassfish, which can be used to host EJB applications. Hope you understand what I need Please help.

Note: Evolutionhosting is too much expensive for me.

I think you missed the point. I just browsed the first 10 links in that list and 6 have J2EE application server plans (JBoss or Glassfish).
As for pricing, given that small sample size, it looks like a J2EE server is going to run $30-50 a month.

Oh! Thanks Joe. I thought there are only "Servlet/Jsp providers as the topic said.
Why those servers are very expensive? $50 per month.!

Expensive compared to what? That's what a typical plan costs, others may cost slightly more or less. For example, I'm paying USD 17 for a plan that includes an app server, and am happy with it, even though it's a bit skimpy on hard disk space.

Oh! Ulf, please tell me about that provider, please.

It's WebAppCabaret. I've been hosting with them for years, and am quite happy with their service.

Is it http://www.WebAppCabaret.com ?
But I couldn't find a plan for 17$. Their cheapest plan is $49 per month

Please help on this.

[Ulf Dittmer]

Search a little bit harder; it's called the "Professional" plan.

[Treimin Clark]

Thanks Ulf, I got it finally.

Take a look at OpenShift.com.
https://openshift.redhat.com/app/

You can deploy applications to JBoss AS 7.
You are given 1,5 GB RAM and 3 GB of space.
You can have MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MongoDB...
You can have Cron scripts.
You can connect anywhere from the server.
You get SSH access (not root, though).

Definitely, give it a try.
