    We are thinking to host our company website on WordPress.com. Can we have our website contents remain locally within Australia? Or they can be resided on any WordPress servers around the world? Thanks

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    Hi there,

    Because of the distributed nature of our service, we host sites on thousands of servers located in several separate data centers in different parts of the US and around the world. We do this for performance reasons primarily, since anyone visiting your site will load resources from the data center that is closest to them.

    By the way, can also view a real-time traffic map of our data centers showing their global distribution here: https://automattic.com/automattic-data-centers

    Because we are a fully managed host we do not have the ability to limit a site to a specific group of servers, so if that is a need of yours we typically recommend that you consider a self-hosted WordPress site, which are sites that you create on a “traditional web host” like Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc.

    If you have any more questions about our service, this may help, we’re also happy to answer any questions you have as well, thanks!
