Where to host GWT based web site

[Qiang Ma]

Hi,

I assume someone figured out...
If I develop a GWT based app, where can I host it most cost effectively (ie. cheap)?
Regular hosting options say they support PHP, CGI... but it doesn't sound they allow me to deploy the war file.

Thanks in advance!

First question: do you have any server side dependencies? meaning do you use GWT-RPC or RequestFactory?

1. GWT applications don't require a Java back-end, so technically speaking any web host that lets you upload HTML and JS should be able to host a GWT application.

2. Google App Engine.

How heavy of traffic are you anticipating?

I would second Isaac's suggestion of GAE.

Thanks, Kevin, Isaac.

The traffic is light. Server side would have some database connection and some java code for processing data.

So Google App Engine! Thanks again!

After reading a little bit of GAE, just want to be clear...

Has anyone found doing "GWT + shopping cart (including secure payment) on Google App Engine" is a viable solution?
If you have done that, please give some reference on what open source packages you have used. That would be very helpful for a lot of people like me!


Thanks in advance!
