I have developed a java based web application using struts, tomcat, mysql etc. I want to host all of these on a server (OS platform should not matter since it is all Java and mysql) that runs in some reliable data center. I want to get the benefit of all the managed services (they take backups etc right) but have my own server for dealing with the user-load and also that the Java apps dont run nicely on shared hosted systems (and they will not have all the tools and libraries we use). I am looking to see if there is any data center in India as well that has proven connectivity. Whatsoever information on this topic is much appreciated.
I understand that hosting providers sell/lease dedicated servers but some of them are pre-configured. I am looking for a box where I can install anything and not pay huge amount for the same. Also, some providers may not accept directly a java server such as tomcat listening to the internet requests. I am not asking about general hosting related information but am specifically talking about java apps and cheap data centers (and if any of them are in india).
