A Hosting Passport, not a mystery score
Your answers become a compact, non-personal decision record: the hosting category that fits, the alternative worth considering, the option to avoid for now and the questions to ask before buying.
- Explainable rules and incompatibilities
- Copy, print, download and private share link
- No name, email, domain or account access
Describe the project
Choose the closest workload, platform, traffic pattern and management preference.
Apply compatibility rules
The engine removes unsafe combinations before it considers budget.
Take the result with you
Compare plans against the same requirements instead of restarting your research.
Independent by design
Read the methodology Recommendations based on requirements, not commissions.
Commercial relationships are never an input in the technical matching engine. Sponsored placements, when present, are labelled and remain separate from editorial recommendations.
Transparent method
Full methodology →How a recommendation is made
The tool starts with technical fit, documents uncertainty and keeps provider promotion outside the calculation.
Requirements first
Platform, workload, audience, traffic and management responsibilities define the viable hosting categories.
Conflicts removed
An unmanaged server is not recommended to a beginner, and static hosting is not treated as a complete WooCommerce solution.
Budget checked last
A cheaper but incompatible option does not outrank a suitable one. Budget tension is shown as a warning.
Unknown stays unknown
Missing plan details are labelled “Not provided” and never converted into assumed features.

Frequently asked questions
Does WebHostingMarketplace scan my website?
No. The tools do not access domains, websites, servers, DNS, IP addresses, certificates or hosting accounts. Recommendations use only the options and values you enter.
Do affiliate relationships change the result?
No. The recommendation engine applies documented compatibility and requirement rules before any commercial link is shown. Commission is not a ranking input.
Do I need an account or email address?
No. The tools run mainly in your browser and do not require signup or email. Calculator progress can be stored locally and deleted by you.
Are provider prices checked automatically?
No. We do not scrape provider websites. Prices appear only when they come from an internally maintained, dated and source-linked record or when you enter them manually.
