google can help :)
Google apps can host java servlets. Eclipse IDE contains plugins to deploy java projects at google... There are many useful tips.

Not every setup will run on google. As alternative I can recommend JVM Host - Affordable, automated and rock-solid Java Hosting where you can get cPanel plus their custom JVM control panel. With some discounts and – looks they always have some in place – you can get 64MB JVM for $5/mo.

If I may chime in - Amazon's ec2 micro instances are basically free for the first year. You can have a nice linux install, and put any app server you want on it. You only pay for bandwidth and processor time above and beyond the allocated free resources. I've been using a micro instance for the last 6 months or so to run ubuntu and host 3 or 4 grails apps on a tomcat app server. I think I've paid about $0.11 so far.

Here is amazon's pricing page with the promo info:
Amazon EC2 Pricing

and here is a link to the Ubuntu instance I use
EC2 and Ubuntu - Alestic.com

If you go this route, pick an ec2 set near you ( I use US east) and in order to qualify for the micro instance, you need to use the EBS boot (pretty sure on that, if I got it backwards, just try the instance-store). I use 10.04 LTS, but you can use anything you like.

While this isn't a simple upload and it runs service like Heroku for rails, it does give the flexibility of letting you install anything you want, and I mean anything. You pick your OS, and then you have your own virtual server on the cloud. There might be some nice pre-built app servers out there too :)
