Apache Tomcat Support?

[zapzack]

Do you wish to have Apache Tomcat installed on the free servers? Vote in the poll!

(Poll opened for lhyman)

How about also adding a "Don't Care" option?

- as in "it will be a nice bonus if we have it, & I may well dabble a bit with the feature, but I'm not going to lose sleep over not having it"

[zapzack]

Too bad I can't edit the poll.. I would have added it..

[zen-r]

OK - I just won't vote.

I can't imagine you'll get many "no" votes though. Extra features are always welcomed by most people, even if they don't plan to use them!

What people should realise is that the cost in adding some features (but not necessarily this feature) might be that server resource usage goes up, & reliability of "uptime" may go down.

I don't care added.

You should include a description of what the feature is. Most features that are not already added (except my SOAP of course) is not very popular, and you will get far too many 'I don't care' votes if people can't vision themselves ever using it in the future. If no one has requested it by now, most likely that is the majority.

I voted I don't care because I never used it before and have no idea what it is.

i voted, "i don't care"
although i think why people here don't request Tomcat here is because, most of the members here signed up because they where looking for PHP and MySQL. although it would be nice to have Tomcat installed, but i don't think it will be feasible to install it on the current servers. i think it would be better if it will be installed on a separate server. although it is possible for people to incorporate both JSP and PHP on their site, it will be highly unlikely that they'll use it together at the same time.

It would be a great addition, as nearly no hosts at all supports it. Heh, I haven't even seen any paid host who supports it...

[lhyman]

But are you sure Tomcat is not going to slow down the servers?

[Rithy58]

I would love to have Tomcat.

I currently is working on a Java Multiplayer Online Game and I think it'll be great if x10hosting have Tomcat.
One thing for sure is, the server will be VERY slow if a lot of people going to use it.

I tested a stress test on the game with about 100 people playing PvP and my server can barely handle it. Crashed about 5 time in 1 hour. The server spec is 2.8 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 320 SATA Drive 7200 RPM and connection speed : 10mbps both up and down. I limited bandwidth on my home network so that the server can have a good connection and everytime I tell my friends do try the Guild vs Guild(50 vs 50), there will be lag and sometime, the server just crash.

I wouldn't have come back to x10hosting if my server can handle the game and the website...but I think if everytime the game crash, the site/support is down, my players will left the game without even saying good bye.

So...if we do have Tomcat, we will have a lot of new customers(and I'll be using it for another server to reduce stress on my server) but if x10hosting don't buy more servers, we're doom with slow server.

So..it depend on if x10hosting will buy more servers.

Sincerely,
Rithy
