  I am a current WordPress customer (hosted at WordPress) Is our WordPress site mirrored in China (or Hong Kong)? Are there issues with China-based users accessing the site (assuming that we don’t use links to Google Maps and social media)? Can we take our WP source code and host with another provider in China if our site cannot be accessed?

  Hi there,

  I am a current WordPress customer (hosted at WordPress)

  What is your site link?

  “WordPress” is the name of a piece of software. WordPress is not a hosting provider, so you cannot have a site “hosted at WordPress”. WordPress.com is a hosting provider, but the account you’re using to post here does not own any sites hosted on WordPress.com.

  Is our WordPress site mirrored in China (or Hong Kong)? Are there issues with China-based users accessing the site

  We do not offer any mirroring in countries where internet access might be restricted. China is known to restrict access to certain websites at times. If access to your site is restricted in that way, the only way to access it would be by using a proxy service or a VPN:

  Can we take our WP source code and host with another provider in China if our site cannot be accessed?

  We do not provide FTP access on WordPress.com, so there’s no way to access the source code of a WordPress.com site. If you have a site hosted with us in another account, the only thing you’d be able to move is the content itself, via a content export file.
