Java Web Hosting. JSP Web Hosting

Looking for Java Web Hosting or JSP Web Hosting?

It helps to know the difference between the options.  It also helps to know a web host that has had success for their clients running Java Web Hosting or JSP Web Hosting.

JSP and servlets are server-side scripting that requires the user's webhost to provide a servlet runner and support for the languages. Lunarpages, our suggestion if you need Java Web Hosting or JSP Web Hosting, uses the servlet runner Resin.

Using JSP and servlets is a good way to go because a user's browser does not need anything turned on or enabled to run pages coded using JSP and servlets.  This is because the server is what parses them, so pages built using JSP and servlets would run on any browser so long as you have JSP and servlet support on the web hosting account. JSP and servlets are written using Java language, so knowledge of Java is required to successfully use these.

JavaScript is primarily client-side (meaning that the user's own system would be running it) and supported so long as the user's browser is configured to allow JavaScript.  Roughly 10% of people have JavaScript turned off in their browsers due to a desire to reduce security issues that Javascript can cause.  People's employers may restrict Javascript due to security concerns.

All webhosts can support this type of JavaScript as it is run client-side and not server-side. JavaScript is not related to Java or JSP and servlets at all despite the name similarity.

Java applets are client-side scripts that are created locally on a system using Java language and then compiled and uploaded. A user's browser determines support for these or not. The program to allow applets to run on a browser is included on most computer systems, although people can disable the capability or not update their program and so not be able to run newer applets. Again, because this is client side, all web hosts can support this.

Make sense?  We hope so.  And now you know what web host to get your JSP web hosting from ... try Lunarpages today!.
