Hello,

do you know any FREE hosting platforms where PostgreSQL, Java SDK,
Tomcat (or other web servers) can be already found installed or where
they can be installed from scratch?

About the only hope I know of is hub.org .

They're offering one-year free VPS services at certain times of year.

By the way, one of the reasons you're not finding much free hosting for PostgreSQL is that it takes a fair bit of work to run Pg multi-tenanted. Your additional requirement for Java and Tomcat means you're certain to be stuck with a virtual private server (VPS) or a BSD Jail based host. I'll be very surprised if you can find any offerings that are free (as opposed to "free trial") in that vein, but I wish you luck in your search.

What you *might* be able to do is find sponsorship for hosting or find someone who'll grant you free hosting for your project because they think that particular project is worthwhile and important. That'll depend a great deal on what you're trying to host and what the likely load will be.
