I can&#039;t remember a single time I ever dropped by and found that Wordpress.com was offline, so based on that admittedly unscientific sampling, I&#039;m going to guess that it has a fairly good uptime record. <blockquote><i>&quot;Software publisher Automattic, which runs WordPress.com, went down today and took millions of blogs and other websites with it.&quot;</i></blockquote> Which might sound damning to those who read that sentence quickly, but let&#039;s think about what it really means - that Wordpress.com is a very popular provider. That&#039;s a good thing about Wordpress, not a bad thing. A more popular service is one less likely to go out of business.
