Even more Space in 2012
To celebrate the New Year we decided to offer you more space for your precious media.
Our previous space upgrade levels have been increased without any additional cost for you as follows:
- 5GB → 10GB
- 15GB → 25GB
- 25GB → 50GB
- 50GB → 100GB
- 100GB → 200GB
If you already subscribed to one or more of these upgrades ( yes, they are cumulative ), your total available space has been automatically updated as you can see in your Media Library.
If you don’t have a Space Upgrade yet, or need to add more, the new levels have been implemented in the Store section of your dashboard.
The Space Upgrade of course gives you more space to store your photos, and docs, but it also enables you to upload audio files, which makes it perfect for podcasts, MP3s, or any audio format.
We don’t even limit your bandwidth, and we’ll keep your files as long as your blog exists.
If you want to learn more about these upgrades, feel free to visit our space upgrades support page.
But wait, there’s more…
For those of you with a private blog, we lifted the previous limit of 35 users allowed to access it. From now on, you can add as many authorized users as you wish, from the Settings → Privacy section of the dashboard.
We hope you’ll enjoy these new features, and we wish you and your WordPress.com site all the best for 2012!

Sincere thanks to WordPress.com for increasing the blog space.
January 6th, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Managing photos and media in general in a WordPress.com blog is a chore. When are we getting an update on those lines?
January 6th, 2012 at 3:56 pm
The last WordPress update improved the Media uploader recently, stay tuned for future updates.
January 6th, 2012 at 1:02 pm

Thank you soooo much Mr. Belcastro and all WordPress staff!
January 6th, 2012 at 3:52 pm

January 6th, 2012 at 4:10 pm
It’s nice and great, thank you…
January 6th, 2012 at 4:31 pm
I’m relatively new to WordPress, but find it attractive, effective, and almost effortless, though I use the many tutorial videos available. For all that and the additional space I am grateful.
More than that I’m heartened by the many positive comments in response to your announcement of ‘even more space in 2012.’ Pretty classy people compared to those who more than often leave heedless and thankless comments of response.
January 6th, 2012 at 4:34 pm
Thank you…
January 6th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Wow, thanks, that’s very generous of you!
January 6th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Thanks wordpress thats cool…… Happy New Year! You guys and gals rock
January 6th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
Thank you all for your eye on continuous innovation and improvement; you continue to raise the bar. I appreciate it!
[And many businesses could learn from it.]
January 6th, 2012 at 5:23 pm
Thanks!
January 6th, 2012 at 5:29 pm
This is terrific. I had already been talking up WordPress.com to anyone who would listen for highly affordable, super-dependable audio blogging and podcasting. Now I’ll be even more uninhibited in my touting of your freemium services. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
January 6th, 2012 at 5:34 pm
those are indeed beautiful words, WordPress! thank you. You are indeed helping me make a living here.
January 6th, 2012 at 5:53 pm
This is great news! You don’t hear too much about “Free” upgrades these days, so thanks!
January 6th, 2012 at 6:05 pm
Awesome news ! Thank you guys
January 6th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Thank you! Loving it!
January 6th, 2012 at 6:17 pm
Wow! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! What a wonderful new year surprise, WordPress!!
January 6th, 2012 at 6:21 pm
Thanks WP!
January 6th, 2012 at 6:30 pm
I remember when we thought 1 GB was a lot of space lol, oh, did I just date myself?
January 6th, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Ahh….thank you so very much WP! A great New Years presant
January 6th, 2012 at 7:12 pm
Thanks to you, Paolo Belcastro! Much like a quality street drug, WordPress continues to lure me into greater addiction with new freebies, righteous widgets, and highly functional themes. As I explore every possible bell and whistle of my WordPress blogosphere, I grow helpless to resist the inevitable gravitational pull to your massive professional upgrade. Oh yes, I am your demographic, baby, and am damn proud to say so.
January 6th, 2012 at 7:28 pm
Thank you WordPress
January 6th, 2012 at 7:34 pm
Do I use too much space? How would I know about this? Who can tell me if i really need to upgrade? Tks. thedoghouse
January 6th, 2012 at 11:17 pm
That information is visible at the top of the Media section, in your dashboard. You will see there how much space your files use and how much remains available.
January 6th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
What a wonderful gift to the WordPress world! Awesome!
January 6th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
This is why I love wordpress!
January 6th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
Thank you WordPress
a wonderfull gift !
January 7th, 2012 at 12:18 am
Wow! Now I’m really tempted to buy a space upgrade.
January 7th, 2012 at 12:25 am
Yesss! You’re not seeing it, but I”m totally doing a fist pump here.
January 7th, 2012 at 12:39 am
Well this was unexpected! Thank you very much!
January 7th, 2012 at 1:43 am
“5GB → 10GB
15GB → 25GB
25GB → 50GB
50GB → 100GB
100GB → 200GB”
So, what would be the cost for 12 GB, which falls between the 10GB and 15GB price levels?
January 7th, 2012 at 2:16 am
I love this upgrade! Thank you so much, WP.
January 7th, 2012 at 3:14 am
Great news For WordPress Users. Thanks a lot. WordPress Rocks!:-)
January 7th, 2012 at 3:14 am
I noticed this as I was uploading photos and I thought I was seeing things! This is so awesome, thank you so much!
January 7th, 2012 at 3:42 am
It is nice of you to have increased the space. Really, this wonderful act of yours will spur the writers to write more and more to make wordpress.com
number one.
January 7th, 2012 at 5:27 am
Great news, thanks word press
January 7th, 2012 at 5:40 am
Good content addition! But if wordpress add value addition also for readers who opt for it, it will be nice and best! Choice can be asked by wordpress for every member.
Wordpress should strive hard to arrange for some reveneue income by adding universal advts in the website of members and thus becoming one of the top website in the world!
We will hail for the victory of WordPress in 2012 !
January 7th, 2012 at 5:44 am

January 7th, 2012 at 5:54 am
very kind! thank you
January 7th, 2012 at 6:02 am

January 7th, 2012 at 12:45 pm
I live in a country where there are no credit cards, my question is how can one buy more space where there are no credit cards. I live in Liberia where we only have western union. I highly appreciate the wordpress family for their wonderful services they continue to render the world. It is indeed a blessing to me, my friends and my country at large. Thank you wordpress.
