In episode 58 of the Grails Podcast, Glen and Sven spoke about a Grails hosting service that costs about a dollar a day if used in production. So, I thought I would share my experiences in hosting Grails applications. For the past year I have used eApps for my Java, PHP and Grails hosting. I have been extemely happy with them from a support, feature and price perspective. I have used many hosting services in the past including other Java hosting services and eApps is definitely the best. My Beginning Groovy and Grails co-authors, Joseph Nusairat and Jim Shingler also use them for hosting as well.
eApps starts Java hosting at $20 a month for Tomcat and a offers a $30 option for JBoss or Glassfish which is less than a dollar a day. It also includes database options of MySQL, PostgreSQL or
I personally use the JBoss option while Joseph and Jim are using the Tomcat option.

Do you feel that 288mb (or 412mb in your case) is robust enough to handle Java/Groovy/Grails applications? Thanks in advance.
Obviously it is going to depend on the load and what you are doing. But for a causally used site I have found 412mb to be adequate. At the point it is not adequate, eApps offers advanced, premier and dedicated plans.
I quit using eApps when I discovered that their default image included an unsecured mail proxy. Surely there's got to be a vhost company that knows how to secure a mail server.
