I have written a JAVA servlet that implements the “Facebook Connect” feature. I have installed Tomcat on my laptop locally and ca run it successfully.
I want to host the servlet now on a Tomcat Server, so that people from outside can log in and provide their Facebook data through the servlet.
How do I do this? Which Tomcat server hosting should I purchase from the web? What steps would be involved in getting this done? Any tutorials / references available for this?
Well seems you are looking for Hosting Solution, To host a website you need following things
1. Domain Name
2. Application Server/Web Server (eg. Was/Tomcat/Weblogic)
If you want to host your website from your own computer , you will need a Real / Static Ip , which can be accessed from any where in the world, ask your ISP for REAL/STATIC ip and then map your domain to this ip , once propagated , users will be able to see the website , otherwise they can use this real ip to access .
Alternatively , to save yourself the headache of running a machine 24*7 , you can rent out some of the servers from Hosting providers and then deploy your application there saving the pain.
