Is java web hosting costly?

High functionality and quality never came cheap to anyone and no difference when it comes to Java hosting as they are a bit more expensive than your PHP built or other languages or platforms. Though the prices have gone down they are still high in the overall of the grand scheme of the hosting options available. Also unlike Ruby, Perl, PHP and other languages or frameworks, Java is not so compatible with Apache, which just happens being the widespread part of most of the internet sites. The upside of Java is its availability of free download for users; they do not get any penalty for accessing a java-based site allowing you to give a superior usage experience without any burden on your user.
