JVM's
Benefits of Private JVM
When considering jsp hosting you must be aware that there are normally
2 choices; Shared JVM or Private JVM. Normally a shared JVM will be
less expensive than a private JVM however there are unavoidable problems
associated with shared JVMs. One major problem with shared JVMs occurs
when deploying a new application : Normally deployment of a jsp application
will include java classes and libraries. Once the application is uploaded
to the server, the JVM must be restarted to take advantage of the
changed classes/libraries. If you are using a shared JVM, this means
that any other website using the same JVM as you must also be shutdown/restarted.
Of course, this also can mean that your website will be shutdown/restarted
when anyone else using the same JVM as yourself has uploaded changed
classes/libraries.
Due to this problem, many web hosting companies will perform periodic,
automatic restarts of their shared JVMs at times that they hope will
impact the least amount of their shared JVM customers. This may be
OK for some customers, but what if you have an urgent change that
you have made to your java classes/libraries? Must you wait for the
next automatic JVM restart before your changes will take effect? You
could be waiting for hours!
Web Fusion considers the use of shared JVMs to be an inferior practise,
and as such we only provide our customers with a best quality private
JVM. We’ve reduced our private JVM prices down to match the
shared JVM price or many of our competitors so that you, our valuable
customers, get the best of both worlds. With our jsp plans, you have
the flexibility to stop/start your own private JVM any time you like,
how good is that!
