Well I don't think I need a dedicated server, it's only a web-app for maybe 1-2 concurrent users I would have to host.
I was thinking I can rent a virtual Windows 2003 server, accessed by RDP... I've just no idea where to get this service.
By the way, am I right that a virtual PC I can set up as I want is called a VPS?

But the cost of having a dedicated dev server hosting that which you can control 24/7 is pretty high.
Hmmm, plan B?

It is one of the biggest draw backs of java that there is no approachable, easy to use hosting service like PHP.

Online servers for J2EE apps and CVS/SVN hosting?
For a project I'm managing I will need to do 2 things:
1)Provide a J2EE test server on which I can have the JSP/Struts app + MySQL running, to deploy versions for developer-testing and client demos. The client is using TomCat on production servers so I guess I should do too.
2)Have a remote CVS/SVN repository, for developers only.
I've used CVSDude for 2) and it works Ok but I don't know if it's the best tool. The fact they do backups is a big deal, and the main reason I don't really want to run my own CVS server.
For 1), well I gather you can get a virtual Linux box pretty cheaply but I am a big *nix noob and while I can pass most config work off onto one of my drones sub-contractors, a server I can't understand isn't totally ideal.
Any recommendations on the best approach, and suggestions for the best companies to help me achieve what you recommend, are highly welcome!Tags: None
