The WordPress Hosting Infrastructure Index

The definitive benchmark for the infrastructure vendors powering WordPress hosts. Every host declares their stack.

Compare adoption, analyze market share, benchmark vendors, and discover the technology stacks behind the industry's leading hosts.

Running a host? Declare what you choose. Keep the rest private.

How the game works

01

Hosts declare

Claim with a work email, instant and domain-verified. Then declare layer by layer, each one public, private, or hidden. A filled-in profile shows customers the engineering behind their site.

02

Vendors compete

Every declaration moves the board. You win a layer by being run — not by buying placement. Gold, silver, bronze, every layer, all season.

03

Everyone watches

Stacks, associations, market share, and the money behind every vendor, sourced and locked. The whole industry reads from the same board.

Follow the money →
🔒 The transparency layer

Ownership is part of the spec.

Every profile records who owns and backs it, private-equity groups, holding companies, founder vehicles, sourced from public records and locked from editing.

Follow the money →

Your move. Pick your side.

Work email, instant verification, no fees, no favors. The board never lies.

For hosts

Put your stack on the board.

  • Every layer is public, private, or hidden. Your call on what goes on the record.
  • Claim in minutes with a work email. Groups and brands included.
  • A public profile proves you run a serious modern stack, and customers read it as evidence of the engineering behind their site.
  • Benchmark against the field on every layer, including the ones you keep private.
  • Private declarations still shape market share, aggregated and never attributed to you.

Your stack, your call on what shows. Private declarations are aggregated only, never attributed.
