I can't find what it is on Wordpress. Anyone know the link?

 

I want to keep the intellectual, publishing, production, and reproduction rights to the content.

 

Thanks.

I finally found it, under terms of service:

 

By submitting Content to Automattic for inclusion on your Website, you grant Automattic a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your blog. If you delete Content, Automattic will use reasonable efforts to remove it from the Website, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable.

With that wording, I'm going with Wordpress.

anyway i dont think you will have any problems with any hosting services. they are only hosting services but not owner of the content. in the same way you cant post anything you dont own copyrights to. if they retain any rights on your material, that will violate copyright (yours)

For me, it is the right to retain intellectual, publishing, production, and reproduction rights to one's own words, blog set-up, etc. and not the issue of my using what is someone else's property.
