How / where to deploy my webapp
I have a built-in small web app using java / j2ee. I want to host it myself on my servers (I don't have them now). I have already downloaded the ubuntu server OS. I'm a brand new bee. Now I'm just studying things. I prefer to host my application on my servers (preferably using Linux, Apache and MySQL) rather than on Google engine or any other hosting service?
- Can anyone help me find the server hardware?
- Where should I buy them?
- what kind of things should i look for for web server hardware?
- What's cheap, hosting on third party servers or our own servers?
- Also can you provide some links where can I learn about creating webapps and hosting on our own servers?
Thanx in advance

The software you list can run on almost any computer hardware, your requirements and intended use / target audience will be the starting point for assessing what hardware is required for scalability.
If it's for training or development purposes, just run it on your own computer or get the cheapest hosting account you can find.
Additional information required for a correct offer.

If you want to host your app for testing / trial purposes, go for Google App Engine or third party cheap shared hosting. If you are looking for reliable hosting or dedicated server, it is better to go to network hosting providers such as Media Temple.
I would not suggest hosting the application on my servers. Running your own servers is overhead and comes with its own set of maintenance issues. Instead, a reliable hosting provider is a smart move.
Some web hosting providers you can search for.
- MediaTemple (recommended)
- Godaddy
- Blue host
- DreamHost
