Where does Wordpress host? And what is their support like? And how big do you really have to be to get admitted behind the velvety-php rope?
- joshfinnie 17y agoNot sure when this started, but you can get the information on Wordpress's VIP services here: http://vip.wordpress.com/ http://vip.wordpress.com/
- rubyrescue 17y agoSo if you pay $15,000/yr you still only get two-day response time? Seems like only the Platinum/Black with "high priority" support seems to be worth it... assuming you have the traffic that makes 80/150k per year worth the cost.
- melito 17y agoIP block that vip.wordpress.com lives on is owned by LAYERED-TECH I'd imagine the move has more to do with wordpress.com actively updating the software vs. hw / network infrastructure. Am I wrong in assuming that TechCrunch was hosted on CloudSites?
- photomatt 17y agoWordPress.com has servers in two datacenters run by LayeredTech and one by Server Beach, around 1,200+ total. When one datacenter fails we (hopefully) fall over to the other two. We have DNS and monitoring services at half a dozen other locations, and of course utilize CDNs for frequently-accessed content. Support is handled by a worldwide team of some of the nicest and sharpest people you'll ever meet, with escalation to the core people behind WordPress. We've seen and worked with more high-profile blogs than probably anyone else. The typical floor for VIP is 1 million pageviews a month. Many clients do many times that, or host dozens of sites with us.
