MetaWerx Java/JSP Hosting
Java hosting is our speciality. We were the first host in Australia to
offer Java Servlet hosting in 1997 and one of the first hosts in the
world to offer these services. Our hosting software is, and always has
been, java-based.
Unlike certain other hosts who claim to provide "Servlets and JSP" - we are able to assist you with most problems you will face
during your development. Your applications will run directly from the servlet
container, using the Apache Portable Runtime for static resource serving.
This provides maximum Java flexibility, unlimited by connectors or cookie-cut
hosting control panels.
We are dedicated to Java and database hosting and the security and reliability of your website.
Over the years, we have gradually refined our hosting and support services. All our packages,
from the basic Budget plan to Managed Dedicated Server hosting support the latest implementation
of servlets and JSP.
When you host with Metawerx, you automatically benefit from our years of experience fixing thousands of java problems and Tomcat Hosting issues. This can cut weeks off your project delivery times and ensure you have the highest level of uptime and stability for your production systems.
For pricing and features information, please see the Plan Comparison
pages. The information below is of specific interest to JSP and Servlet programmers.
