I think the site looks great and will be very informative for people with a wide range of experience. As a person with something deployed to literally every provider you've listed (and using most of the ancillary tools as well) I'd say you've done a pretty accurate job describing them. EDIT: One enhancement I might suggest is that another way of listing hosting, instead of by $/hr or $/mo might be to suggest an insta…

That's a really nice idea, I like it (and I see other people suggesting something similar). I might add a separate page with some recommendations for specific projects (as you say, like a Wordpress stack, static website, etc.)

If you are going to list notes for static sites, definitely consider Google Firebase and Netlify. Both have free and paid options that give you a ton of mileage.

Fairly disappointing list. No GC in hosting list, even with generous free tier on App Engine, Firebase and other services. No DigitalOcean. No Azure. On e-mail front, no SendGrid and Mailgun, even with their generous free tiers. No Cloudflare. CI as category is ignored. 1&1 makes it, but GoDaddy, Gandi, and others don't.

> 1&1 makes it, but GoDaddy, Gandi, and others don't. Godaddy? They use shady tactics to mislead customers, their service is pretty bad and they are an overall unethical company. I would never recommend them.

I personally recommend Google Domains for $12/year per domain. Nice UI with two-factor authentication, private WHOIS, and multiple users can manage the domain.

The last time I talked to 1&1 support on the phone, they made me read my password out loud so they could manage my account. I can never recommend that company for anything crucial to running a business.

Azure is also missing

I did take a look at Azure, but it looks complicated. Probably for someone who has more experience and actually have used it, it's not, but I couldn't easily find how I can get a simple VM, and when I used the calculator for the VM, the price was almost two times more expensive comparing to DigitalOcean or Linode. I see that there are many people using Azure and probably it's a great ecosystem, but I wanted to focus…

For an application you may not even need their VMs, an AppService instance may be enough and potentially cost less. BTW, you can find them on the "New" menu on the left
