#19545 — Private Tomcat/JVM

I am looking for a java web host so that I can write java programs that listens to a certain port.
 
I discover 2 types of hosts: private java (JVM) host and private Tomcat host (more expensive).
 
I am not too sure what is the difference. Can someone explain a little ?
 
Thanks (sorry if this question is childish).

Firstly, mind that the word "private" makes no sense in this
combination, and that Tomcat sits atop a JVM.

In a nutshell, Tomcat is a /Servlet Engine/, providing you with a
framework to perform web-related operations. It is but one of a couple
similar frameworks, cf. for instance <http://www.servlets.com/engines/>.

If you are planning to do web/HTTP related operations, and especially if
your server is going to perform more than one very limited function, I
would recommend that you use a Servlet Engine, because it's going to
make your life much easier (and is valuable knowledge).

If you plan just on having a poor socket listening for one low-level
network operation -- say, Java RMI --, going with just the JVM /might/
be more economical.

You might be asking about the type of environments and services
an "Internet hosting service" provides, hard to tell.
