Thanks for the opinion. I've looked through different options. At the moment I have no applications live at all so 40 is too much. So when gogaddy's price for a hosting account is about 4-5 euros that is about the right price for me. If I would pay much more then my motivation to build applications faster would be higher though ;) I've had to regress back to using normal servlets and JSP so I have much more work to do than what I would have if I used normal tools. Godaddy does not allow Struts 2 or even Hibernate so I feel like I code in the stoneage...
