I want to run my own Java chat server on a web host

[Laks Natarajan]

Hi,

Does anyone have info on web hosts that let you run your own Java chat
server on the host machine?

I am volunteering for a mentor program for kids that has a website,
chumz.net hosted on Yahoo. I found a free Java chat server and client
program called Babylon (http://visopsys.org/andy/babylon/) that
enables users to send text as well as share a paint canvas. This is
really nice and I would like to use this if possible.

Only problem is I can't find web hosts that let you run such a chat
server. Of course, I also want administrative controls like
starting/stopping and moderating the chat, etc.

Since it is a volunteer org, this can't be too expensive -- right now
we pay about $20 per month for Yahoo's standard package.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Lakshmi Natarajan

Ps. This is cross-posted because I couldn't find a special group for
this subject.
