Introducing Project Bedrock: A Transparent Future for WordPress Hosting

For years, the world of WordPress hosting recommendations has been shrouded in secrecy, with users left to navigate a landscape shaped by obscure agreements and undisclosed incentives. Project Bedrock is here to change that.

The Problem: Lack of Transparency in Hosting Recommendations

When users search for the best WordPress hosting solutions, they often rely on lists curated by industry leaders and trusted publications. However, these recommendations are frequently influenced by affiliate deals and paid placements rather than objective performance data. This lack of transparency creates a system where financial incentives take precedence over user experience and trust.

The Solution: A Clear and Open Process

Project Bedrock aims to set a new standard for WordPress hosting recommendations by introducing a fully transparent and data-driven approach. The project is built on key principles:

1. Open Criteria – Hosting providers are evaluated based on publicly available performance, uptime, support quality, and user satisfaction metrics.
2. No Pay-to-Play – Listings and rankings are determined by measurable results, not financial agreements.
3. Community-Driven – WordPress users and experts contribute to the evaluation process, ensuring a broad and fair perspective.
4. Ongoing Testing – Hosting providers are regularly assessed to ensure they continue to meet high standards.

How Project Bedrock Works

The initiative will develop a set of standardized, open-source benchmarks for hosting performance, security, and support. Hosting providers will be invited to participate, with results published transparently. Instead of relying on secretive partnerships, users will have access to unbiased data that empowers them to make informed decisions.

The Future of WordPress Hosting

By establishing a fair and open framework, Project Bedrock seeks to improve the entire WordPress hosting ecosystem. Hosting providers will be incentivized to improve their offerings, users will benefit from genuine recommendations, and the WordPress community will gain a new level of trust in the information they rely on.

The time has come for WordPress hosting recommendations to be built on solid ground — on bedrock. Stay tuned as we lay the foundation for a more transparent future.
