The main idea behind WhereToHost is to write an application that is capable of checking the compatibility of any given webhost to the requirements (and optional features) needed for an application to function.

So what we do is hook up with a bunch of web hosts, where they agree to install a very small set of files (currently only 3) that runs a check on their PHP environment. That is of course one of the problems with this little system, it’s currently only for web hosts running Linux and PHP. I’ll eventually expand this to Ruby, Python, Perl, and so on but for now I’m sticking with PHP, so if you’re looking for a host that can handle something we don’t check for automatically head over to the forums. If there is a PHP application that you think should be added to the system add a request for application to the system.
