The idea of creating a index of server providers is good, but all implementations are less-than-ideal, and in the worst case, useless. The core problem here is data quality, the magnitude of noise is usually high:
* The server providers do not give out machine-readable data.
* It's difficult to distinguish some details from specifications, such as vCPUs or dedicated cores.
* Promotions and discounts cannot be recognized programmatically.
* There's no reliable way to detect discontinued or withdrawn plans.
Ultimately, people will find the result of their search is either withdrawn or unusable for some reasons, and they still have to purchase the server from a well-known provider... And lurking at lowendtalk.com is still a better way to find a good deal.
Improving the quality of data sounds like a good machine-learning project.
