Review of noname.net
I made the mistake of selecting a Shared VM trial thinking I could get way with it but I couldnt.
I managed to get my basic application running, although deployment was a very hit a and miss affair, Tomcat Manager didnt work properly and I didnt receive satisfactory explanations of what was going on. But I wanted to implement database connection pooling and changes to the tomcat logging and this was not possible so I requested an upgrade to a trial to a private JVM, but was told only one trial per customer is allowed.
At least they give a free trial but Im checking out http://www.servlets.com/isps/ and deciding on someone else to try.

Let me know how you get on Paul, and feel free to let them know I referred you ; )
As a tip I would recommend the following:
If you have any custom XMl with external DTD then ask them to make sure your account has external access to retrieve the DTD's (They don't do this by default). Also if you need SSL ask them now as they need to do some specifics with your host IP address.
Cheers,

I've taken a look at the recommended options and this is my view from looking at the Websites provided.
1. WebConnexions has very little information regarding JSPs (there is only one question regarding Java on Support) and the pricing ids unfairly skewed to be cheaper for US accounts. Im a bit dubious about it because I have already signed up with a supposed Java Host and found it lacking.
2. MythicBeasts is very flexible but would require me to deal with the administration of the whole machine which isnt something I really want todo, having deployed by application I want to just leave it be as much as possible.
3. NameOnTheNet looks promising, they only seem to do Java Hosting and there is alot of support information and they are based in the UK so I think I might give them a try.
4. AssortedInternet look OK, but they seem to cover so many different types of hosting I am unsure of how important Java Hosting is, also based in US.

Hi
I have a Tomcat 4 Application ready to deploy as a WAR. It uses database pooling to connect to a MYSQL database. I recently selected a Tomcat hosting platform to deploy my application but the deployment is non -standard you have to copy various parts of the WAR to different locations which dont match the standard deployment and it doesnt use database pooling to connect to MYSQL. I have been unable to get my application to run on it because these issues.
This is not a high performance website and I do not need/cannot afford a dedicated server I just want to easily be able to deploy my application.
I am based in the UK so a UK/English Speaking host would be preferable.
Could anyone recommend a hostthat provides this straight forward deployment facilities.
Thanks paul
