    JSP hosting

    Why most hosts don't support it?

    I think its due to the CPU overheads. We have it on our Windows Server using either ColdFusion MX 7 (JRUN) and special installs of Tomcat. The server loads can become very high.

    There are lots of places that do. But I'd guess that there are two issues. The first is that it is a supply and demand issue - not nearly as many people want it. The second is comfort - the hosters are use to PHP and don't have the time/inclination to learn something new - again, because there isn't the demand for it.

    I'm sure you're going to also get the "slow / resource pig" arguments. I host all of my customers sites on a modest box (2GHz Celeron, 1GB memory) with a pretty bored CPU. A decently designed Java application scales just fine.

    I think its a supply/demand issue and also I don't think many hosts have people around that know how to run a secure and lean servlet container to server JSP. If you know how to do JSP well..it doesn't eat up that many resources.
