Where are the servers located for WordPress hosted sites?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi there,

    I’m keen to use a WordPress hosted solution for my company’s website, but I was curious to find out some details on where the physical servers are located and what sort of uptime/downtime these hosted sites experience.

    Can anyone point me towards this information. I;ve been digging around for a while without success.

    Cheers,

    We have servers in various cities within the US, and generally if there’s an issue in one data center, traffic will be shifted elsewhere. That means we rarely have downtime, and when we do, it’s generally resolved very quickly.

    Some time back I was told there were three massive server farms – way spread out physically – with millions of blogs including such minor players as CNN – they can’t afford to skimp on the servers

    Thanks for the quick response.

    Are there any stats that talk to this in any detail? A couple of my stakeholders would definitely like to see that if available.

    So am I right in assuming that if I want my site hosted outside of the US, then I’d need to use the WordPress.org solution and set up my own hosting solution?

    Correct – US server locations, US company, US laws

    Here are some status reports – seems to me I am subscribed to a blog for service issues and I can’t remember that last Post / email on a problem –

    There as a temp issue with some test code in a router – but that was probably way over 6 months ago (sorry my memory is not that good)
