I made a tool to find the best web hosting based on your needs

Hey, Recently, I was blindsided by my web hosting plan renewing at almost double its initial cost. This unpleasant surprise prompted me to create Match My Hosting. As a hobby coder, I built this straightforward tool in my spare time using dead simple PHP, HTML, and JS with the massive help of ChatGPT-4. The tool currently includes around 30 providers with 120 different packages. It uses Trustpilot reviews to guide the recommendations, ensuring you choose a host that's not only technically suitable but also well-regarded by users. And to avoid any surprises, it also clearly displays both the…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

And to avoid any surprises, it also clearly displays both the initial and renewal prices. Would love to get feedback from you. Mark

    soft-launching one of my pet projects2011 · ▲27

    So a while ago I was thinking it would be neat to build a site that had the most absolute utility. The idea I came up with was a site to store those little protips that are super useful, if you know them ahead of time. I hired a guy to work on it with me, and ClueDB was born: http://cluedb.com/ Please give it a whirl (it uses Twitter auth as login but doesn't tweet anything) and tell me what you think! (Various trivia: My first try at a project coded by someone else and "product managed" by me. Runs on Flask + MongoDB. Also, this is totally unrelated to my startup.)

    Self-hosted open-source alternative to Mixpanel2024 · docs.openpanel.dev · ▲9

    Three months ago I shared OpenPanel with you all. Got so many encouraging comments then but one feature that was missing/undocumented was self-hosting. I just released it today and thought I would share it here. Keep hosting! Old post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40432213

    DotComBuddy – Generate and check domains with AI in one go2025 · dotcombuddy.com · ▲8

    I tend to use AI to brainstorm domain names, but I kept wasting time pasting each idea into Namecheap to see if they were available. So I built DotComBuddy - it generates ideas (using DeepSeek V3 - switched from GPT-4o after realizing quality was just as good) and checks availability in real time via Name.com’s API. Built with Next.js and Vercel’s AI SDK, the app gives you a table of available domains with their price. 10 free searches to try it out, then $9/year (what I’d pay to never do this manually again). Sharing this for anyone else tired of switching tabs to check domains. Happy…

    Integration of ChatGPT+Stable Diffusion+Eleven Labs APIs and Hosting2023 · aidev.codes · ▲9

    Hello so I finally released the new version of aidev.codes. It is extremely alpha, has not been thoroughly tested at this point. Its quite different from the previous version. The new aidev.codes: - is buggy but actually works (compared to the old version) - has a ChatGPT-style interface (and uses the chatgpt-turbo model which is actually better than the other models for code) - integrates the stability.ai API to automatically generate images - can create a simple but fully customized and interactive web page and instantly host it for you - can optionally host your page on a custom subdomain…

    Agenthost – Host and monetize your custom GPT on your website2024 · agenthost.ai · ▲5

    Hey folks, I wanted to share Agenthost.ai -- a platform I built that makes it easy to create and host custom agents on your website with payment processing through Stripe built right in. I know everyone is excited about the OpenAI's Appstore like GPTStore coming this week but I'm more excited about a more web-like model. A world where you can create your agent, put it on your website, decide how much you want to charge for certain features, and then let others come and discover it. No need to worry about the platform deciding to compete with you and using your data to train its models. So…

    My side project that searches the web for technologies2011 · ▲22

    Hello HN! I've been working on http://underthesite.com for the last month and now think it is ready for some full strength HN feedback. What do you guys think? It crawls up to 10 pages of a given site while you wait, looking for community-provided CSS / XPath selectors and regular expressions. Additionally, I'd like to appeal to you to submit matchers for technologies that you care about. Technologies are easy to add, so add your favorite jQuery plugins, analytics tools, client-side node.js wrappers, what have you. I'm going to be running a large crawl in the next few days and want to make…

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
