Can I deploy a Spring Boot application on godaddy

Question

Can I deploy a Spring-Boot application on godaddy using Web hosting and cPanel? Thanks.

Answer 1

No. If you're using Web hosting (shared) plans according to Godaddy details.

I Suggest the answer from Amir Al.

For more information:

Web hosting (Shared) usually limits the Web technology you can use. However, they're cheap and easy to set up a Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla etc. So, if you use spring-boot, search Java web hosting

Virtual Private Server (VPS) and Dedicated Server will unlock the web hosting limitation because you have to do it by yourself. However, if you're not familiar with Linux (Ex. CentOS / Ubuntu) command line. you can try Window VPS. If it looks so expensive, move to the cloud. I suggest a free trials or ~5USD package with Digital Ocean, Google Cloud, Amazon lightsail, and so on

Platform as a Service (PaaS) such as heroku. If Linux command line seems to be hard work for you. This choice gives you a shortcut to deploy your target application. However you have to learn about Git and their tools.

So, if you want to deploy spring-boot use:

1. Java web hosting
2. Cloud PaaS
3. VPS

Answer 2

Nodtem66 - Thanks for sharing the information. It helped me a lot.

In addition to what is mentioned above. I figured out there are 2 ways of hosting a java based application:
1. Purchase a VM (VPS, PaaS) - This is higher in cost if the only need is to have a single webpage application hosted
2. Pay for only Java Hosting - This is much lesser Few of them I came across are:
