WordPress 6.8 Hosting Team Recommendation

As we move closer to the launch of WordPress 6.8, we’re getting ready to update our hosting recommendations for the new release. This is a critical task for the Hosting Team to ensure that the community and hosting providers are fully prepared for the upcoming version.

We’ve built on the work started last week and are updating the document, which is currently 99% based on the WordPress 6.7 recommendations. If you’d like to lend a hand, we’d love your input on the document.

You can view the current draft here:
