One of my main concerns with XWiki has been the difficulty in getting a
reasonably priced Java hosting service. Ideally, I want a service provider
that gives me the web server stack, but spares me the admin headache. This
may be just what I need:
http://www.cloudfoundry.com/
"Cloud Foundry provides automated, outsourced data center management for
Java applications. It eliminates the expense and distraction of building and
operating your own data center for your production applications and QA
environments. And, with no long term contracts, you simply use Cloud Foundry
for as long as you need. "
"With just a few clicks of the mouse, you deploy your application to a
load-balanced cluster running on Amazon EC2. Cloud Foundry monitors and
manages your applications and automatically handles auto-scaling and
failover. We insulate you from the messy details of using the cloud and
leave you free to focus on your business."
"Cloud Foundry supports the Apache, Tomcat and MySQL stack. It configures
MySQL for master/slave replication and uses Apache to load balance across
one or more Tomcat servers."
