Does Your Web Host Offer JSP Hosting? If Not, We Need to Talk.
What IS JSP?
JSP stands for Java Server Pages and delivers all of the benefits of Java language in an easy-to-learn, easier-to use format so you get all of the advantages of Java without some of the headaches (and expenses) associated with hiring a Java programmer. JSP pages are similar to ASP pages, in that they are not restricted to one specific web browser but can be viewed on all without issue. Unlike ASP, JSP is also not restricted to a specific platform but can be run on almost any machine.
JSP uses XML tags and scriptlets written in Java to generate the content for the webpage. As a follower in the footsteps of Java, an industry standard, JSP technology maintains itself as one of the easiest and most elegant components for web-based applications.
What is JSP Hosting?
If your site runs on JSP, you have dynamic, active, application-rich websites that can interact with your audience on a number of levels. However, even though any server is capable of running JSP, not every web host offers JSP capabilities to their users, mostly because of the required server software upgrades and the learning curve associated with running and understanding this technology. At Lunarpages, we offer the ability to run JSP on any server for an additional £2.50/month, as we believe in the potential of all new technologies.
If you’re searching for great hosting, make sure to ask your future web host about their JSP capabilities and most importantly find out the level of knowledge they have regarding this technology. It’s critical to JSP’s success on your site that your host’s servers be properly configured and integrated into the site-server-user sequence. Lunarpages technicians know these server and JSP protocols, so you’re assured of complete functionality from day one.
JSP Technical Specs
To serve fast JSP and servlets, Lunarpages uses Resin®, the leading edge application, delivering data faster with Java Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 server-side engines, which help you create a site with every bell and whistle imaginable. This technology blows mod_perl, mod_php and other servlet engines right out of the water, delivering faster downloads of heavier web pages, providing more design options and features to webmasters than ever before.
The Benefits of JSP Hosting
Download speed is a primary consideration and perhaps the most important benefit of JSP and Servlets. This programming interface brings your site to life without visitors having to wait 30 seconds for a heavy home page. But there’s much more to JSP technology:
- Javamail This API creates apps that interface with the site owner’s local mail server, enabling the delivery of emails directly from applications, which can be a real time-saver.
- MySQL Connector/J If you use MySQL on your website, you aren’t going to want to change and re-enter all of that solid gold customer data. No problem! Lunarpages is one of the few hosting companies to offer the Connector/J developed by MySQL AG, the brains behind MySQL, so you know your database will sync up seamlessly with Lunarpages’ JSP technology.
- Ease of Use You don’t have to know Java to know JSP! By using JSTL, JavaServer Standard Tag Library, which contains all basic functions of many web applications and combines them into easy-to-use tags, you can also eliminate repetitive programming tasks and cut down on expensive hand coding. Above all, this is probably the main reason new webmasters are flocking to JSP Hosting.
