question on web hosting

Hi all ,

I am right now hosting my pages using jsp / servlet / hibernate on lunarpages. However, the admin inform me lately that it is not permitted to run hibernate on the platform. I am quite surprised to find that. Anyway, is there any good web hosting company support jsp / servlet ? Please recommend.

Thanks.

Perseus

This is the third web host I got kick out because I use Hibernate. (eg. Lunarpages.com, javaservlethosting.com)

Hibernate is starting to receive a bad rep among the web hosting community. I think Hibernate.org should take this issue seriously, otherwise people will have no choice but to switch to competing OR mapping tools. Few people can afford a dedicate JVM (~$60/month). Some comparison or some statistics would definitely help to educate the web hosting community.

As long as we only hear handwaving ("Hibernate needs resources!!!"), there is nothing we can do. Most of the issues we have been informed about are in fact non-issues made up by people that wouldn't like any similar tool. Btw, there is really not much difference at runtime between the leading ORM solutions. Hibernate needs a bit more memory, but thats it. (In return, you don't need bytecode enhancers.)

Perseus,
I'd like to recommend the host I am using - http://www.rimuhosting.com .
I shot the main guy, Peter, off an email to see if they have any issues with running Hibernate on their servers and this was his response:

Quote:

It seems like it is just a 'memory hog'. And that is fine with me (since we dedicate memory to customers). If it were a CPU hog or bandwidth hog, then I'd be less keen on having those users (since it would detract from the performance of other users on the host servers).

We have customers running Tomcat with 96MB-128MB of memory. And we have both the performance TawaVPS plans and the budget focussed MataiVPS plans. And they both have dedicated JVMS (whole private servers in fact). I think any of those plans would be fine for running a webapp with Hibernate.

Their pricing is at http://www.rimuhosting.com/order/startorder.jsp - so you could probably go with the MataiVPS1 for $19.95 a month or the next level up for $26.95.
You get your own Linux Virtual Private Server - so you have root access and are free to install/uninstall whatever you want....
I am in no way affiliated with these guys, just a happy customer.
Grainne.
