It was just five days back when Matt Mullenweg, the co-creator of WordPress went on the microblogging site (Twitter) to announce this incredible milestone when he said 29.9%, which made people realise this achievement.
WordPress was introduced in the year 2003, and since then it has come a long way offering two options – the self-hosted and the other is hosted on a WordPress site. The former is free and the latter comes with a cost. It has now developed an excellent database of people and users thus having a strong community, which supports the open source development. Hence it will not return to the CMS Kingdom at least in the near future.
