JSPWiki Friendly Web Hosting

Highly recommended, affordable, and excellent support team. Your application will run on Tomcat 5.5.7 and on Private JVM (with 128MB memory) with lots of bandwidth and disk space. They also offer shared Tomcat 5.5.7 (Shared JVM) if the private tomcat price (only $17.95) is too expensive - Nick Jobe
For shared tomcat hosting, the experience was a bit more complicated. After initial difficulties, I've now got a shared tomcat installation up and running. I requested details on what changes were needed (in their server configuration files) from their staff, which are included below. If you plan on using a shared tomcat service you'll need to make sure this is done. -- MurrayAltheim
1) added appropriate context (e.g., "www.mydomain.com") to your host config.
2) set 777 perms on ./wiki/work directory (without them, wiki was unable to load config). These perms are needed, because shared Tomcat runs under unprivileged user, that has no write access to that directory by default.
Please let us know if you need anything else.
Thanks

VD-Server
I am currently creating a Wiki (not yet online) at VD-Server
. They offer (V)irtual (D)edicated root servers using UML (user-mode-linux) technology. It's up to you how big a part you want to have and to pay for. For checking your requirements you can apply for a free test-server (granted for 2 weeks). I use a MIDI server (64MB Ram, 3GB HDisk, 10GB traffic, Debian is pre-installed). Find below some statistical output from my test server. I read this as "plenty of space" left to add an Apache or whatever sofware you want; probably the smaller (read cheaper) MINI+ server (48MB RAM) would also be OK (I believe they are about to increase the included disk space). Server performance is good, service is very friendly and prices are decent. Check out the user forum (German) to get an impression. -- Oliver Oppitz

There are issues. See GoDaddyHostingIssues for details.

I am having issues with the servlet right now which I'm trying to debug. I'll post the issues and maybe some one can figure-out the problem.
Update: It's probably one of the cheapest, but it won't work for JSPWiki. Too bad.
