# I launched HostingPicker

**[Flavio Copes](https://daily.dev/sources/flaviocopes)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Flavio Copes launched HostingPicker, a free tool that recommends web hosting providers based on four questions: what you're building, whether you need a database, expected traffic, and budget. It returns three ranked options with realistic monthly prices and honest tradeoffs. The site covers 12 providers including Vercel, Netlify, Railway, Render, and Hetzner, and supports side-by-side comparisons and pre-built guides for common stacks. Built as a fully static Astro site, it works without JavaScript. Rankings are deterministic and not influenced by commissions or sponsored placements.

## Questions this post answers

### Which hosting providers does HostingPicker compare?

HostingPicker covers 12 providers: Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, Railway, Render, Heroku, DigitalOcean, Fly.io, Deno Deploy, Hetzner, Vultr, and Linode. Each has its own page with prices, supported workloads, features, ratings, advantages, and tradeoffs. Side-by-side comparisons show realistic costs at different project stages across 15 features, and ready-made guides cover common decisions like hosting a Next.js app or a Docker container.

_Developers picking between these providers track new hosting options and community experiences on daily.dev._
