Looking for Java hosting in the UK

[Hades]

I'm looking for recommendations on hosting a Java based site, preferably in the UK (but not essential). It should be able to host jsp's and servlets but also jms. So something that offers full JBoss hosting (or Glassfish, etc) would be perfect.

Thanks.

I would imagine you'll need a virtual dedicated server (sometimes called a virtual private server) for this as Tomcat et al doesn't really work well in a shared environment due to the resources Java can consume. If you're just working on a test/development site, I'd probably recommend just hosting it locally.

Thanks. Just had a bit of a busines idea. I want to play around with it on my machine first (it's been a few years since I programmed Java now!) but wanted to grab the domain name. It made sense to buy it through the company I'd most likely use if I go ahead.

If it looks like it will take a lot of investigation then I'll probably just buy through anyone, then move it when I find the right hosting.

I tend to have all my domains with Heart and then just manage the DNS to point to whichever host - keeps all the domain control in one place

As daz said, VPS is probably the only way to go - I can't recall ever seeing Glassfish etc being offered in a shared environment.
