Good idea. But who has the access to all the hosting? If there is anybody who knows the hosting landscape, that is you! Still simply can look at all. So community has to contribute. Then, How? Above all, how do you motivate people to provide the data? People just want to consume, not produce. 

I think the "things to avoid" is the easy part. More difficult, and sometimes controversial, are the preferred criteria. Do you really need 8 GB if don't have more than a dozen users? Or, what do you tell all those visit Hardware and performance asking for hosting specs for N-hundred thousand concurrent users?

More practical could just be a table:

1. Shared/Root
2. Linux distro
3. Shell access (if shared)
4. Git installed (if shared)
5. Panel available
6. Which panel(s)
7. Cron service (if shared)
8. RAM
9. Disk

How about SMTP server?

How about cache, Memcache, Memcached, Redis, Valkey,..

Doesn't have to be 250,000, even beyond 100 the site needs a structred search. See the Distrowatch search. Not an easy task. But then, I didn't check, there must be (too) many such compilations on the Web.

P.S. This is not exactly the "A super user friendly Moodle Installation website" in the OP. So renamed this sub-thread "A hosting chart".

P.P.S. I am still intrigued at what "A super user friendly" something is: Is it "A super, user-friendly" something or "A superuser-friendly" something?

Hi

No instructional designer here. My Moodle course homepages are rudimentary. I imagine making graphically demanding course material to be lot of work - with or without Moodle. I remember the highly interactive course designs based on Adobe Flash of the past. People programmed the pages! Must have been lot of work, and worse, they are specialized, only for that particular topic, and worse, small changes for reusing meant editing a program! It is similar to the highly popular medium of today, the learning videos.

Still, it would be helpful, if you could post links to a sample of your own and what you're trying to achieve. Your description reminded me a paradigm a "Tuber" propagates, that can be called "Make your course pages like normal web pages". Search for "Advanced Moodle- How can I improve the look and feel of my Moodle site?" or "Moodle 2019-Make your design and layout more professional" by Russel Stannard in that infamous Tube. ;)
