Suggested changes for Hosters Hall of Fame

[wsslmn]

Description

The Hosters Hall of Fame (HoF) page should provide visitors with clear insights into which Dutch (or European) hosters are 100% compliant. Users are able to find a 100% compliant hoster that offers the services they need. To do so additional information must be provided by the hoster, displayed on internet.nl, and filterable by users.

Information to Display on the HoF Hosters Page:

• Favicon of hosters website
• Hoster company name
• URL to the website
• Provided service (Virtual Private Server, Domain Registration, Shared Hosting, WordPress Managed Hosting etc.)
• Public Address, place of business, country
• Green Hosting Checkmark - data from The Green Web Foundation directory
• Date of entry into the HoF

Notes

• Filters should be easy to use
• Hosters should provide accurate information
• Information must be public, and easily verifiable
• Information must not change regularly

Adding some visuals is a great idea.

Some notes:

• The image should be served/cached by internet.nl or an external service for privacy reasons. Also see the #1405 favicon idea with technical details (e.g. external caching services).
• If images are cached on internet.nl:
  • Images should be checked / converted (not serving 1+MB images and not serving malicious content, e.g. scripts/html in svg / image comment fields)
  • Images should be 're-fetched'.
• Standards & image sizes: preferably a standard would be used, a favicon in reality is very small (e.g. 32×32 pixels) and almost never is a full logo (like SIDN uses). I once created a simple logo-finder which tries to find 'logo' classes with <svg> or <img> nodes inside and returns the background color of the parent container of the image (for transparent images like svg's).

Some other thoughts:

• BGP Tools uses PeeringDB to add metadata (like name and website) to an AS, e.g. https://bgp.tools/as/41887
• it looks like NSlookup.com uses the favicon of the domain in PeeringDB, e.g. https://www.nslookup.io/domains/internet.nl/dns-records/ for IP-addresses.
• it seems PeeringDB also has a logo field https://www.peeringdb.com/net/1887
