You’re very welcome!

Chris, with all due respect, articles like this are very misleading. Large companies that use WordPress are typically, if not always, using WordPress.com VIP, a completely different WordPress service than the rest of us.

From WordPress.com: “Prices for WordPress.com VIP Cloud Hosting start at $5000 per month”

And WordPress.com VIP customers frequently employ several in-house WordPress developers.

WordPress is the best service out there and the VIP service is very reasonable. In fact the $5000 is really a mere pittance to the companies for what they are getting.
Most companies would rather concentrate on their primary product or service then try to same a few bucks here and there.

Hi Josh,

Thanks. But my point was large companies are not using the same WordPress service that everyone else uses. They’re using a substantially different – and far more expensive – service.

Plus how do you know that “WordPress is the best service out there”? No website platform is “best” for every person or every business. WordPress may currently be the most “popular,” but being most popular doesn’t automatically mean something is the “best.”

The most popular vehicle (Ford F-Series pickups) is not the best vehicle for everyone, the most popular Mexican restaurant certainly doesn’t have the best Mexican food (Taco Bell?), and being the most popular singer (JAY-Z?) doesn’t mean they’re the best for everyone to listen to.

So anyone who only suggests WordPress is not being thorough enough. Each person or business has unique needs and situations that should first be reviewed before suggesting any website service to them.

Those examples are real silly comparisons. They are non-objective. Sort of like art or maybe colors. Blue is the most popular color so it is best. That would be ridiculous. It is a personal preference.
Companies should pick platforms based on logic. They have a system and a certain set of principles.

Not sure why you went into attack mode. It seems you also believe that people shouldn’t pick a web platform (or most things) based on popularity, and website developers/designers shouldn’t default to WordPress because it’s their personal favorite.

It wasn’t an attack. I think your being a little over sensitive. I was merely saying your examples did not make any sense. Food and music and real big personal preference items. There are so many variations of both. Logic has nothing to do with what a person likes.
