Well, guys, this is it. I developed an Android application where it is fed with data coming from a remote (Mysql) database, via RestFul.
On the server side, I developed a java application using JSP and Hibernate, MySql database, running on TomCat. This application is basically a backend so I can manage the data that feed and that comes from the Android application.
This is the first time I do something like this, and everything is running fine on my local server. It just came time to hire a Java hosting service and I really do not know what would be ideal to get a close beta of my application. There are, remembering that through the Android Application, users are able to send photos to the server, in addition to send some data and consume data and images coming from the server.
I have seen some plans in business services that seem to me to be reliable:
There is also Elastic Jelastic , from Localweb.
Well, I know that to run my java application that serves as a backend, I need TomCat 7+, Mysql and Java 7+. So far so good. But in relation to the memory of the plans? 256MB, 512MB. What do you guys suggest for my scenario? 5GB of storage is enough? Or maybe 10GB? Are these web hosting services good? I would like a good and cheap hosting.
Another important thing. I'm using BASIC authentication, so I think it's necessary to have shared SSL (https) shared, right?
Now, thanks guys =)
