TechCrunch hosts itself on Wordpress.com? I thought they just run Wordpress off their own servers. Wouldn't that make more sense?

- sucuri2 16y agoThey use their paid VIP service, which is pretty solid (and pricy).
- photomatt 16y agoThey're on VIP hosting -- http://vip.wordpress.com/hosting/ http://vip.wordpress.com/hosting/ If you're a publisher it's a great deal, we can absorb huge spikes in traffic because the scale of what we do. But you have the risk of being collateral damage in something that affects all of WP.com, like a DDoS or bad code deploy. On the bright side, anything that impacts all of WP.com is an all-hands-on-deck matter for us since it's the vast majority of our business, so we're as aligned as could be.
