[BUZZWORD ALERT!]
Anyone need a place to host their Java apps? You can now - in the cloud!!!
(Sorry, I just had to *ducks under keyboard* ;-)


Google App Engine lets you run your web applications on Google's infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it's ready to serve your users.

App Engine costs nothing to get started. All applications can use up to 500 MB of storage and enough CPU and bandwidth to support an efficient app serving around 5 million page views a month, absolutely free.

No, seriously. I came across it when I stumbled upon Captain Forever (http://www.captainforever.com/captainforever.php) from this thread (http://forums.tidemedia.co.za/nag/showthread.php?t=13110). Right click on the app and see which server you can set the space usage quota for.

Old :P Been using it for a while now :)

Edit: Get the Google Eclipse plugin. It has great support for the app engine. Even has an emulator that runs on your local PC.
