Java has traditionally been
known for providing great Web client-side application
support. Java is also a great platform for writing the
server side of your Web-based applications. With the
introduction of Java Server Pages (JSP) scripting language
in the last few years, the technology has become more and
more popular with web developers.
JSP is based on components. It uses JavaBeans and Enterprise
JavaBeans (EJB) components which hold the business logic for
an application, and it composes tags and a scripting
platform for presenting the contents generated and returned
by the beans into HTML pages. The components structure means
that non-Java developers can use JSP to manipulate the beans
that developers have built. On the other hand, Java
developers can use these beans and Java in JSP pages for
more advanced productions based on the beans.
With more and more developers harnessing the power of
Servlets, JSP and EJB to create online applications and user-needs-driven web sites,
HostPulse.com decides to research the available JSP
hosting companies in the current market place to help the
growing number of developers who require Java Server Pages (JSP)
technology make smart choices.
Organized by the
HostPulse.com,
100 Most
Dynamic Web Hosting Companies 2003 listing seeks to
raise the standard, profile and image of companies and at
the same time educate users about the various types of
hosting services available. The Best JSP Web Hosting Award
is a new award honoring one company that is at the forefront
of the hosting industry with its innovative and reliable JSP
hosting services. The selection process was conducted by a
committee of 3
HostPulse staff.
Edging out a number of leading hosting providers like
Servlets.com,
JavaServletHosting.com and
jcentric.com,
ImHosted.com is our first recipient of the Best JSP Web
Hosting Award based on certain criteria including the facility
to protect customers' mission critical applications on JSP
hosting servers and networks, efficiency in managing JSP and
Tomcat hosting environment, overall JSP support service,
reduction of costs associated with network congestion, and
a range of features in any one JSP hosting plans.
Founded in November 2000, Lynden-based
ImHosted
helps companies and web developers to maximize the
performance and scalability of its servers by leveraging high
performance hosting services. The company uses Linux hosting
servers running on a minimum of Intel Pentium III 1000Mhz to
provide affordable shared Linux hosting services starting
from US$9.95 per month.
Performance Plus and Power Plus are very simple but useful
JSP hosting plans users can find on the web. They come with a
minimum of 700Mb of disk space, with 20Gb of monthly
bandwidth allowance, Tomcat JSP/Servlet Support, Java 2
Standard Edition, Ensim Powered Control Panel and 8 hostable
domains running on IBM servers.
Feedbacks gathered suggest the company is consistently
improving critical applications and increasing reliability
of the JSP hosting servers within the technical environment
of Tomcat Serlvet released under the Apache Software
License.
The company continually innovates and customizes its
business processes to keep pace with evolving customer and
partner expectations. One fine example is the content
accelerators
ImHosted
installed across all its servers. The cache and compression
technologies from Zend, IntenseSpeed and HyperSpace
Communications enable web pages to load faster and script to
execute quicker. This is one of the innovative products that
play an important part in cutting down latency by as much as
20-fold, by preventing dynamic pages from doing any
repetitive work, and reducing the turnaround time for each
request. The company also introduced the bandwidth rollover
program to allow any unused bandwidth from your monthly plan
to automatically rollover to the next month to help users
maximize the amount bandwidth provided.
"ImHosted
is very innovative and continues to improve its hosting
services by providing top-notch third party software to make
each hosting plan more useful and convenient for its
customers", says
HostPulse founder, Terence L.
HostPulse.com and 100MostDynamic.com are proud to
acknowledge
ImHosted
as the recipient of the Best JSP Web Hosting award, 2003.
