Comment (by joostdevalk):

 > Communicating clearly to end users what PHP is, what a web server is,
 and what a web host is, is not easy. Indeed, many users aren't even aware
 of what ''WordPress'' is. Let's start with the documentation and work
 backwards.

 We haven't done the first bit of that but would be happy to.

 We do already have some examples at Yoast of documentation on how to
 update PHP, with links to a good amount of hosts:
