  Even the VIP account need the footer & WordPress.COM in it – VIP starts at $ 30,000/ year

  If you REALLY want

  “Powered by WordPress.com”

  you need to move off WordPress.COM and get your own host and install the WordPress.ORG software

  Current Terms of Service:

  The current policy about the footer in the support documentation:

  May I remove the ‘Blog at WordPress.com’ credit in my site’s footer?
  Although the Custom Design Upgrade certainly grants you the capability to hide the credit from your site’s footer, you are not permitted to do so. Even our VIP bloggers are required to maintain the credit.

  I think it is professional to see the “Powered by WordPress.com” than “blog at WordPress.com”

  By the way, VIP is Powered by WordPress.com. I just checked most of the VIP websites.

  Thank you,
  Em
