Anyone know any? My favorite one claims "Hibernate was not designed to be hosted in shared environment" and won't host my app.

IMHO, that would of course be true as you made each customer deploy the whole blessed sucker themselves... but that's me.

So

1) How full of it are they?

2) What hosting companies are hibernate friendly? I didn't see anything in the wiki...

JCentric would work, as would any host that gives you a jvm...
