Free Space to Three Gigabytes
Much of the work we do at Automattic is behind the scenes, infrastructure you’ll (hopefully) never notice or see, but we’re always thinking about how the improvements we make to the foundation of the site will allow us to build more interesting things on top of it.
Today, one of those developments comes to fruition — everyone’s free upload space has been increased 60x from 50mb to 3,000mb. To get the same amount of space at our nearest competitor, Typepad, you’d pay at least $300 a year. Blogger only gives you 1GB. We’re doing the same thing for free.
Our hope is that much in the same way Gmail transformed the way people think about email, we’ll give people the freedom to blog rich media without having to worry about how many kilobytes are left in their upload space.
How are we able to do this? Over the past year we’ve developed our file infrastructure, replication, backup, caching, and S3-backed storage to the point where we don’t feel like we need to artificially limit what you folks are able to upload just to keep up with growth. We’re ready for you.
What about the space upgrades? They’re still important. You still need a space upgrade to upload certain file types, like movies, and we’re also increasing the limits of the paid upgrades, so if you bought a 1GB upgrade before it now adds 5GB for no additional charge.
January 21st, 2008 at 9:05 am
Uhmm, Matt. How About anyone who have a domain+hosting ? Will they get the space, too ? *Stupid Question*
Thanks to WordPress, now I don’t have to think about capacity.
January 21st, 2008 at 9:06 am
The space upgrade is just for blogs that we host here at WordPress.com, so if you’re hosted elsewhere it doesn’t apply.

January 21st, 2008 at 9:26 am
Thats a really good move. But I wonder where do you get the money from to run this service. Will WordPress blogging be a paid service in future, cos there are rumors that gmail might become a paid service in say about a 2-3 years.
January 21st, 2008 at 9:27 am
Don’t worry, we wouldn’t offer anything for free that we weren’t confident offering for free for a long time. We still have paid upgrades for additional space, but the 3GB is free, free, free. (And I haven’t heard anything about Gmail being paid, either.)
January 21st, 2008 at 9:29 am
OH YOUR GOD!!!!!!!
This is great.
All I have to do now is to find more content to store here. :-p
January 21st, 2008 at 9:30 am

Now what about letting people upload audio & video for free? (It’d be the next logical step, wouldn’t it?)

Of course, anyone who really needs all that space is going to be very happy, but I
I always used to wonder how long it would have taken me to reach the 50MB limit. After a year of blogging, uploading photos and of course a boatload of text, I reached only 10% of the old limit.
And about videos: now that the space is available to do so, what advantage does a video upload to your blog have over a link to youtube? I would like to try it out.

I dont usually use to use my bad english to leave a comment in here, but this time I have at least to let you know how much I appreciate your efford.
I have a blog since 2003. I left Typepad for Blogger, but then I found WordPress and I’ve been with you eversince.
If you want to know I recommend WordPress here, in Portugal, all the time.
So, thank you so much for the space increase to all the WordPress Team!
You keep on giving me argumments to prefer WordPress the best.
Best reggards from Portugal, guys!!!
Margarida
P.S - For when will you consider to allow “embed” in posts and sidebar? That´s still being point as an advantage of Blogger…

Outstanding work, thanks!
January 21st, 2008 at 1:41 pm
WOW great news.. did all guys you at wordpress play stone, paper, scissors to decide who will break this news?
January 21st, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Thanks! You guys are awesome!
January 21st, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Wow, this is really lovely of you guys to be doing this! Thanks!

I LOVE WORDPRESS!!!!!!

From Portugal.
Good move. Really improve things for me, since i´m hosting in image shack and the copy/pastes of “images code” are driving me crazy.
I only upload Pictures/ or photos in jpeg format. I´ll continue doing so, at minimum size, but this really changes things in terms of planning posts and how to post .
Great improvement.
And here, lot´s of people will be happy it this and migrate to word press, mainly from blogger.
Thanks again. Great news

YES! I just went through and replaced some pics with smaller ones and was disciplining myself to be conservative with my pic uploads. Imagine my surprise when after replacing a few, I was down to using 0% of the spsace! Now I understand why. Thank you
January 21st, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Thanks. WordPress.com is the absolute best!

Fabulous! Kudos to the team for constantly trying to make WordPress as good as it can ever be. Keep up the great job, guys! And wheeeee, I’m so happy that WordPress has won the so-called ‘geek awards’. Haha. Let’s all go on a geek-Oscar frenzy! (:

Matt, you are GOD. I will add you to my pantheon :).
Now I can add some high definition photo files right here rather than linking out to Picasa etc.

This will make posting photos so much more convenient (I won’t have to go through flickr so much anymore). Thanks!

Very nice ! Thank you for everything !
January 21st, 2008 at 2:13 pm
OMG, yayayay! Those of us who have photos on our blogs really really appreciate this, I was at 10% after three months and was starting to worry (I link next to everything from Flickr, too).
If you’d install the lightbox plugin I’d move my portfolio site over here, too ;3

You’re making my dreams come true.
January 21st, 2008 at 2:29 pm
WOW!
Great!
thank you MATT!
January 21st, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Brillant. Thank you.
January 21st, 2008 at 2:36 pm
This is sooo wonderful! I’ve been stingy with pictures because I was obsessed with the idea that one day I’d run out of room.
For the record, I tried another blogger for a second blog I wanted to keep separate, and I ended up giving up in frustration. WordPress really, really rocks, and I just wanted to let you guys know that I’m grateful to you for having such a great thing AND making it FREE!
Peace!
January 21st, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Thank you so much.
kindest regards from

January 21st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
That is really generous, as someone who wants to put a lot of photos on the site the extra space is great valued. I feel you are winning most of the photogs I know over from Blogger for the ease and quality and honesty of your service.

Thank you very much. Since my blog has only a modest-sized following, I probably would never exceed the original limit, but I do appreciate this free service.
I’m not “geeky” at all, and really don’t understand how you can offer this wonderful opportunity without some charge. Not complaining! Happy about it!
Next month I will have been here two years–it’s been lots of fun, informative and inspirational. I’ve “met” lots of people from around the world. Thank you, WordPress.
January 21st, 2008 at 3:04 pm
OMG OMG OMG THANKS SOOOO MUCH!
January 21st, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Now I feel silly for buying the 1 gig upgrade on Dec. 19.
I have no idea how I’ll fill 8 gigs, but thanks for including the additional upgrade space to those who pay you.
Is there any way to mass download stuff you after you upload
