DNS delegation of wordpress.org updated: May 25, 2013 5:33:24 PM
Wordpress.org is a domain owned by Automattic, Inc. Wordpress is a content management system used primarily for blogs. As opposed to the free blog hosting service available at wordpress.com, wordpress.org is the home of the software, featuring plugins, showcases and support.

Wordpress.org is a domain owned by Automattic, Inc. Wordpress is a content management system used primarily for blogs. As opposed to the free blog hosting service available at wordpress.com, wordpress.org is the home of the software, featuring plugins, showcases and support. Wordpress.org is a domain controlled by two domain name servers at mobiusltd.com. Both are on different IP networks. Incoming mail for wordpress.org is handled by one mail server at wordpress.org themselves having a total of two IP numbers. Both are on the same IP network. Wordpress.org has two IP numbers (66.155.40.250, 66.155.40.249). Some of them are on the same IP network.
All of those point to the IP number 66.155.40.250. Worth noting is that three of the host names that point to the IP number 66.155.40.250 use the mail server mail.wordpress.org.
