I would highly recommend user-mode linux (UML) hosting, like bytemark or Linode: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/uses.html Starting around the same price as average shared hosting, you get your own virtual linux box (i recommend debian), on which you can install java, mod_python, php, mo

Thank you all for the messages. I agree with Bill on that I was just whining here. I should do a bit more research. I guess I am just getting accustomed to the endless supplies of asp/php hosting services. All I need to do is shopping for the lowest price/good service. But it's not the case for
