PHP is generally more of an accessible language to beginners or casual web programmers than JSP. Therefore hosting tends to be much more common and also, therefore cheaper.
JSPs are a special type of Java servlet. These run in a servlet container. In a paid for hosting environment this will typically be Apache Tomcat. This is open source. I'd expect any decent Tomcat hosting company to have a setup where deployment is no more difficult than PHP. If you want to look into basic JSP hosting look for shared (rather than private) Tomcat instance options.

for first shot - memory, i think php will be extremely happy with 64MB, JSP starts with 40MB up to gigabytes depending on chosen technologies
