Title pretty much sums it up.
If it matters, I mam in China, and we need space for two medium-size pages.
I have contacted GoDaddy and Hostingsolutions but they only provide jsp for Linux. If at all possible, I owuld prefer to stay with a big and recognized host provider.
Its kind of urgent, so any quick reply would be most appreciated.

JSP will be tough to find, why not do ASP?

To be quite honest, i don't know, the programmer told me to find JSP. Since I don't know how this works, I appreciate any enlightenment on this issue.
Is JSP old? Can ASP replace it? If we have built something in JSP, is that a road of no return? What does JSP stand for?
Thanks a lot for the help.

JSP is "Java Server Pages" which was designed by Sun Computers and uses Java. You can find out more at java.sun.com (JSP is a subset of the J2EE enterprise server technology)
The equivalent Microsoft technology is ASP.NET
PHP is a competing system that works well on both Windows and Linux
And finally Ruby is very popular as well on Linux.
That is the "big four" although others might see it differently of course.
In theory all four programming languages will run equally well on both Linux or Windows but Ruby is almost impossible to find on Windows hosting and as you have found out, Java is not very common these days for Windows hosting.
They are all current technologies but once an application hits a certain size it is expensive to convert from one to another so you do end up at some point in a "road of no return"
In my research to find Windows hosting, which you can read in a rather long thread in this forum, there was I think a few hosters I found interesting that had Java on Windows. I think Aspnix will install it on request and it is also possible that Arvixe.com the one I am currently testing would also set it up for you.
Since it is not common, you really want to avoid the big hosters for Java since there is no chance they will provide you with the technical support and flexibility of configuration that a small hoster can do.

The OP has a Windows hosting requirement and your link looks like Linux.
