Questions about Java Starter
Is Java Starter enough for my application?
Java Starter is designed for Java applications with 500 MB storage, 50 GB traffic and 5 MySQL databases. Memory is often the deciding factor: 64 MB are guaranteed, and you add more when needed. If your application keeps growing, you move to a larger plan or a managed vServer without data loss.
Can I test Java Starter for free first?
Yes. You can test Java Starter free of charge and without obligation for one month: click “Try free for 1 month” or tick the trial option in the order form. During the trial you deploy your application to your own Tomcat instance via the Tomcat Manager and check whether 500 MB of storage and 5 MySQL databases are sufficient. After the trial period you receive an email. If you want to continue, book Java Starter for 6,90 € per month incl. VAT – your data and access details are kept. If you do not reply, the trial plan is deleted and there are no costs. One trial plan is possible per customer.
Is Java Starter suitable for production use?
For small applications with few users, yes. Java Starter offers your own Tomcat instance, 500 MB of storage and five MySQL databases. Memory is the key factor: 64 MB are guaranteed, and you add more when needed. For applications with more data or users we recommend Java Basic or Java Pro.
How much memory does my application need?
That depends on the framework, data volume and number of users. Lean applications with servlets and JSP get by with 64 MB. If you use larger frameworks or many simultaneous sessions, add 64 MB for €2.49 or 128 MB for €3.99 per month. For very high requirements a managed vServer is the better choice.
How do I deploy my application?
You upload your application as a WAR file in the Tomcat Manager and start it there. The Tomcat Manager also shows which applications are running, and you can reload or stop them. You trigger a complete restart of your Tomcat instance via a trigger file. Our specialists are happy to help you personally with the initial setup.
Can I move from Java Starter to a larger plan later?
Yes, at any time. If 500 MB of storage, 50 GB of traffic or 5 MySQL databases are no longer enough, you move to Java Basic with 1 GB of storage, 100 GB of traffic and 10 databases. Your applications, emails and data are kept, and we personally support you with the switch. Our specialists are happy to discuss in advance which size suits your workload. Compare all Java plans
