This fails for me. I selected Developer, budget between 101-250, for "something else", while being comfortable managing it myself. That something else is all my projects/websites essentially, which all differ a lot. I doubt running that on Shared Hosting is a good idea?! Besides that, awesome job - I like the idea, most review sites are filled with fake reviews just to make the website owner make the most via the programs that pay most..

You're absolutely right. Honestly, the hosting recommendation tool is designed more for people that don't know anything about hosting right now. Making good suggestions for developers is hard. It's one of the things that definitely needs improvement. That said, given what you put in, what sort of recommendation would you expect/want? I have some ideas but I would rather hear yours first before injecting my own opinion.

  Well, selecting other - maybe a longer dropdown - entering how many sites (and what kind), bandwidth usage, visitors - rough figures obviously. Some awesome features would be entering X amount of ip's (if you want unique or multiple), and maybe also add something regarding main demographic (should I go for a US provider, Asian, or European). Should I go for a VPS? Or a Dedicated server? I know, it's tricky to calculate all of this - but it'd be awesome! Last but not least, I'd only show these options if someone were to select a checkbox for advanced options.

    Thank you for the ideas. I have added them to the feature list. I will see what we can come up with based on your suggestions. The difference between vps/dedicated/cloud is really hard to recommend these days. It's also getting all mixed up, making recommendations even harder. Any ideas on that?
