I am so happy with scaleway that I do not understand it is not in this list.
Thanks for the suggestion, didn't know this one! I will definitely take a look at it.

#52This is pretty slick with useful information presented in easy-to-compare form. The hardest part is going to be keeping the info up to date. As others have mentioned, some pretty big-name offerings are missing despite being surprisingly capable. I use Google App Engine's free tier for some hobbyist-level hosting because it gives me full control over the incoming and outgoing HTTP request in an autoscaling PaaS, which…
Not really. AppEngine is unique in this way. It has a combination of features and constraints that make it very difficult to replicate what it can do elsewhere. GAE is a product not just a collection of APIs.
The closest thing to AppEngine out there is ElasticBeanstalk and Heroku, which resemble each other far more than they resemble AppEngine. Good luck.

#53It's impressive that only a quarter of the links are affiliate links.
The other 3/4 websites don't have the affiliation programs ;) But jokes aside, as I tried to explain on the FAQ website, I'm not related with any of the companies and tried to choose them honestly, based on the quality of the service they offer. If they have affiliation links, I have add them. If not, it doesn't matter. There are many great services like Amazon, Heroku or all of the errors tracking tools, that don't…

My comment was half meant as a jest at exactly that. If they existed, I'm sure they'd be included as well.

Oh come on. We all know you created the site specifically to plant affiliate links. There's no shame in admitting it.
> [... truncated] (also, none of the affiliation links give you real money, usually those are some credits on each platform, and if, for example an affiliation link can help me host the this website for free for couple of months, then why not).
You can host this website for free, permanently, as a static site on GitHub pages.
Saying you can use the money to pay for hosting the site "free for couple of months" shows you know even less about what's available than I already thought.

#54Hey everyone, I have created this website after struggling with deploying my website for the first time (which one of the 1000+ hosting companies to chose? How to get a cheap domain? Analytics, monitoring, what other tools I need?) and I thought it might be useful for others. There are no advertisements and it was not sponsored by any company, I did a lot of reading, checked different services and picked up those tha…
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.)

Hi Vhaeraun
This is refreshing, congrats! How do you go about evaluating new tools and/or platforms? I built Cachoid ( https://www.cachoid.com/ ), which is a site-speed as a service platform (Varnish + WAF + scalability) and I'm curious to see if you're interested in this kind of vertical. Would love to chat about this joe@ aforementioned site.
Thanks

#56What about a static site served by an object store through a CDN? I just did a pure S3/Cloudfront project.

Could someone explain the hate for affiliate links? Maybe I'm just being naive, but as long as there's no suspicion of ratings bias, I'm fine with them. Ex: I've used thewirecutter.com recommendations for home supplies--and I'm happy to give the creators a kickback for their effort (at no cost to me).
It misaligns incentives. This comment thread is full of people pointing out popular services that haven't been included. The reason they haven't been included is because they don't have affiliate programs.
I don't know how this can be presented as 'a curated list of best tools' when it simply isn't
This isn't unbiased content, it's an advertorial - a blatant one, at that - and for that reason it doesn't really belong here.
Re: Deploystack – Curated list of best tools for launching your website
#58Fairly 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.

AppEngine doesn't support php7. Call me old fashioned but that's a show stopper for me.
