HostingCompass Picker
Compare VPS, PaaS and cloud by region and use case so beginners stop guessing
- Problem
- Cloud providers and hosting services keep multiplying — Vercel, Cloudflare, countless VPS — making selection cost higher, not lower. One builder tested several providers just to find a VPS in Spain; another wonders whether a given platform is suitable and generous enough for an MVP.
- Solution
- A structured comparison of major hosting and VPS options by region, price, free tier, compliance requirements and China accessibility, with scenario-based recommendation lists and user-submitted real-world test notes.
- Users
- Indie developers deploying their first project, small teams going global, founders validating an MVP
- MVP
- Structured database of 50–80 mainstream hosts and VPS providers; filter by region and budget; curated lists for common scenarios (small EU VPS, MVP free tier); user-submitted test notes
- Revenue
- Affiliate commissions as the core, plus paid deep-dive comparison reports or selection consulting
- Why now
- The indie and go-global wave makes hosting selection frequent, while existing comparisons are dated and ad-heavy; structured data plus community tests is a one-person job
