Hi Lloyd,
Webhosting may be a bit off topic for this list, but I would be glad to help
you out. I just moved from an M$ centric host as well. What I've done may be
a little different than what you want.
First off I will say that my new webhost does not support servlets at this
time. However, they do support PHP. I use PHP to redirect to my Linux server
at my home that is setup with Apache, Tomcat and mySQL. That way I don't
have to worry about E-mail setups and such and I can just focus on getting
my server setup and coding. :-)
I use...

I have the $10.95 a month plan and I get a LOT more than I really use.
If you would like to compare and contrast different webhosting companies, I
recomend checking out the following site.

I like the control panel that ProNicSolutions gives you to use, very nice.
Hope this helps.
Sorry, for the kinda, sorta off topic reply everyone.
Thanks
John Brosan

Subject: Servlet web hosting?
Hello -
I'm new to the list, and pretty new to Tomcat (and Java in general).
I'm in the process of moving all my personal MS stuff over to Linux and
Java. My current web hosting provider is very MS-centric, so I'm
looking for a new one that supports servlets.
Does anyone on this list use such a provider with whom they are
satisfied?
wrt servlet hosting, I'm primarily interested in having the latest and
greatest software available (like the latest beta of Tomcat, e.g.) than
I am with rock-solid stability.
Also, domain hosting, multiple mail accounts (IMAP would be nice), and
the ability to create users with file permissions as well.
Thanks very much for your recommendations. I know there are a lot of
web hosting service guides out there, but it's hard to get a true feel
of how a service performs without speaking with actual users.
