Where to host a Restful web service in JAVA in shared hosting solutions

I have just finished developing a REST web service that is consumed by a mobile application. The web service is developed with Java and runs on an Apache server.

I'm now moving to the testing part. And for that purpose, I need to host my web service in a real server. It is a first experience for, and I just knew that using mutualised (shared) hosting does not allow me to host whatever application, in whatever language.

The one I get to use is OVH, which does not support java web services hosting.

Does anybody have any other alternative to provide. It would help a lot!!

Like I said, if it is for testing purposes you could always use a "normal" PC, running something like XAMPP.

As an alternative you could give RedHat's OpenShift a try, which offers a free, getting-started plan (more info here) that should more than cover your testing requirements.
