I have created a website to host a portfolio of my programming work. Some of my projects are games in the form of Java applets. Surprisingly, it sounds like a lot of the major web hosts do not support Java applets. I don't understand how or why this could be, since I thought Java applets were downloaded by the client's web browser. For example, this Go Daddy representative clearly says that Java applets aren't supported on the cheaper GoDaddy hosting options. http://support.godaddy.com/groups/web-hosting/forum/topic/java-applet-not-deploying/
I also spoke to people from JustHost and BlueHost and it sounds like they also do not support Java applets unless you have a very expensive hosting plan with them.
Are there any hosts suitable for hosting personal websites that allow you to upload Java applets? Or am I misunderstanding and all of the hosts do support Java applets? I understand why Java server-side software might not be allowed, but it seems like there is no reason Java applets wouldn't work.
