We’ve been with WordPress for a very long time, in fact, the very first year they launched. All that time, we’ve never really thought about using their premium plan since one of our affiliates is a web design and hosting service provider (since 1994).
So when it came time to convert this site to a place where anyone anywhere in the world could find ALL virtual organization career opportunities in The New Virtual Organization World, it was really a no-brainer to just convert to a premium plan in order to accomplish our mission in minutes and at a tiny fraction of what it would have cost us to try to set it up on our own servers.
The moral of the story: Patience (in this case, for WordPress) is indeed a virtue.
