Web Hosts - Java

[VapourTrail]

Planning to complete my Open University IT and Computing degree next year with a project course (TM427) that requires you to develop an internet based distributed application. The required pre-study, M360, covers a lot on Java programming, including servlets, and a bit on databases. As I'm planning to include Java servlet technology probably with a MySQL database, plus other stuff, in my project, can anybody recommend a hosting company that would a. allow me to run Java servlets on their server b. host a MySQL database and c. not cost the earth?

Yeah, install all the gubbins on your PC, and use a service like dyndns to get a domain to point to your computer.

Thanks. Had a very quick look at www.dyndns.com . Am I right in assuming that as I'm on a Broadband connection, and have a domain name e.g. mysite.co.uk already registered, then using dyndns I can get them to route all requests to mysite.co.uk to be re-directed to my own PC in my house?
