Hi,
I have written a simple chat program to get a grasp of sever-client networking in java with help from outside resources. I now want to test this on my website but I do not know how to get the server on the website. For some reason I cannot find this information anywhere.
How do I get the java server of a chat program to run on my WebPage?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance

You need either a Virtual Private Server (VPS) or a dedicated server.
You can also host from home, if you setup your NAT tables in your firewall.

Is there anyways to get it to run off my current bandwidth I have with a server?
What about a servlet? Could this be the answer to my problem?

You need root access, if you want your own JRE.

Thanks for your help.
What about hosting from home what would I need to do to get that going? Also, what are my limitations, if I have Verizon Internet how well do you think a simple application will perform?
Will I have to set aside one of my computers for a server and reformat everything or just run it from a desktop?
Thanks in advance for any information.

would be a good idea to set aside 1 computer to act as your server/webserver .
you dont need to reformat it.

Thanks, do you know any information on the limitations of doing this? Like will the sever be really slow?

not had chance to test on large scale but seems to be coping quite well with a few connections.
limitations is being on a slow 10mb connection rather than on a 100mb connection.
if you have enough computers maybe a seperate machine for webserver and seperate machine for game/chat server

Let's say you have this 10mbit connection, then your upload is probably 1mbit, or 100KB/s.
You can imagine that this *could* be very slow, unless you're not doing that much I/O, like when you're hosting a simple chatroom.
