What is this, and who is it for?
The Internet has had a massive growth the last few years, not only the amount of Internet users or consumers, but also the number websites available has increased dramatically. There are hundreds of different languages, frameworks, content management systems etc., each requiring different server setups and hardware capabilities. No hosting company can support everything, and that's why we created Hostomato.com.
We wanted to give new and experienced developers a way to find the ideal hosting platform for their particular projects. If you run a small blog, then a $1/mo web hotel will be a good choice, whereas if you run a community with thousands registered users, a dedicated server might be what you are looking for. No matter what you need, Hostomato's goal is to help you find what you need, automatically (at least to some degree).
When deciding what company to use, and what hosting plan to order, there is a long list of things you should take a look at. Web hosting is not only about storage space and bandwidth. Uptime, server response times, support in case something goes wrong, available software... The list could go on forever.
As Hostomato.com gets more functionality, and our user base grows, you will see in-depth articles about everything from choosing the best hosting provider to setting up your own server. We value our users, so please, tell us what you want to read about!
Hopefully we will have the most important functionality done in a few weeks. Check back from time to time, and let us know what you think.
