If you’re in the WordPress Hosting space you might have already heard about Project Bedrock, a centralized directory of WordPress hosting providers, that is managed by the WordPress community. The project is already running a few years but in the last months it got traction again, especially with WordCamp Europe 2024 having a discussion on the Contributor Day around the format and requirements.

@javiercasares laid out the next steps of the project in a recent post and I thought why not starting with an initial prototype which can be iterated one but solves the first requirements:

• Be able to take a json file from an URL, Upload or just paste it
• Register Hosting Companies and their products as Custom Post types
• Link those products to the hosting company
• Store meta data to build the directory on

It is a first draft, far from completion but it does some lay out some parts of the functionality and may provide an early version of what later becomes a proper hosting directory:
