The WordPress Conundrum

WordPress seems to be gobbling more percentage of the internet every year. It's close to getting to 50%.

They tried to raise their prices for the WordPress.com hosting service. Mukunth wrote a piece about it on his blog.

This has made me wary of using the service myself.

I do not yet make an income where I am able to support small establishments. I use the larger establishments primarily because their economies of scale enable goods to be made available at a discount.

But, that framework isn't working in this case. This is what is making my decision-making difficult.

There is now a fear that WordPress might, if not now then in the future, sneakily introduce higher pricing if I don't keep an eye on the pricing page.
