I feel your pain guys. I found a provider that made me wander why more of
them don't do this. http://www.eapps.com you get a virtual machine running
Linux for each domain and one of the most comprehensive control panels I
have ever used. 20 bucks a month gives you a fair amount of features and
space.

 While I agree they do this (it happened to me once), that is a risk you
 run in ANY shared hosting environment... an admin has to make a quick
 decision that will keep the other people sharing your box running, and
 many times the easiest solution (and arguably best) is to shut down the
 offending service, or app, or even domain, and then try and resolve it
 with the person who owns the supposed offender.  They seem to be pretty
 good at least of informing you in a timely fashion that they had to shut
 X or Y down on you.  At least, the one time it happened to me this was
true.

 I have been with Lunarpages for I think close to 3 years now, something
 like that, and it's been a fantastic experience overall.  I personally
 WOULD recommend them... good price for what you get, and they are quite
 responsive (in my experience) to support requests, and for the most part
 let you do what you want (yes, there are some not allowed items to be
 aware of as Wendy points out).  But, I seriously doubt they are checking
 everyones' domains, they will only know if a problem arises, so if your
 careful I suspect you can skirt that rule just a bit :)

They are based out of Indianapolis and have some great sysadmins on

2006-03-01 Thread Rick Reumann
Yes, I have searched the mailing list, but still searching the struts
mailing list doesn't always bring back the best search results.

So, anyway, I'm looking to leave my hosting provider. They were great for
the first few years, but lately the problems with them have been too much
for me to handle anymore.

Of my mailing list searching, this hosting provider seems to hold the most
promise:

http://www.lunarpages.com/plan2.php

I'd be interested in some other recommendations (java/jsp support
obviously:) and/or companies to stay away from, on or off-list is fine with
me. At this point I don't even mind paying more for a good uptime and
service.

Here are what I have used for the past few years:

1. javaservlethosting.com, reliable and flexible hosting service with
very low prices, no private JVM, but can reload webapps from control
panel.

2. godaddy's (virtual) dedicated server, very good value and service. Do
not purchase control panel if you can manager the server.

Would works for me with JSP + Struts + iBATIS ;)

I use eroute.net, signed up about two years ago, so I pay about ten
bucks a month for shared hosting. Now they charge $17, I am not sure
would I sign up right now.

Pro: pretty fast and friendly email responses, ftp (you can drop the
files you need wherever you want them), mysql/postgres, can use pretty
much any libraries you like, can have several web apps on one plan.

Cons: need to email them to reboot the server (this really is not a
drawback since the server is shared anyway). Several times I found my
app unavailable in the past apparently because it was hosted on a
server instance that was being rebooted a lot. They probably moved my
app on another instance with less reboots, because my demos are
available now most of the time. Have to pay extra for Tomcat5, they
still use Tomcat4 on standard plan. Kinda slow, ok for demos, but for
a real app I would ask for more memory.

All in all, works for me for the money I pay and the kind of demos I
have. For a larger high-avail application... I am not sure.

I was considering rimuhosting, at that time I could get a dedicated
server for about $25. I guess they do not have this prices anymore :)
I did not sign for it because they basically give you access to a
Linux machine and then you are on your own. Which is great for a Linux

Just to say I’d also recommend www.kattare.com 
I moved  3 sites to them around about a year ago and they’ve been 
amazing – extremely helpful getting us up and running, and solid as a

The specific answer to your question though, I think, is no.  In my 
case all my domains run in a single tomcat instance so if I need to 
take tomcat down I take all 3 out.  I rarely have to do this and I have 
an agreed outage window with all my clients at the same time each week 
so, if I need to do some maintenance, I handle it that way.
