Google has released a program called Google App Engine where developers can host their web applications. The current preview release provides limited space and computing resources and the future versions will have options where we can buy more computing resources as per our need. This seems really interesting. I earlier heard about Amazon's EC2 which also provides webhosting service. But Amazon's service had atleast 2 outages in the past 3 months which is not a good sign. Hopefully Google App Engine stands against storms.
This new concept of "platform-as-a-service" will surely help developers by freeing them off administration tasks. The current release of App Engine provides a python runtime engine and so you can deploy python apps. I am sure Java is on its way :)
