Answers.Text: I believe the OP's question has been misunderstood. They are asking about hosting Civicrm on WordPress.com. The quoted stats are about all WordPress installs, regardless of hosting arrangements.

Answers.Text: I agree the OP was about hosting on wp.com - i was trying to add some helpful info about civicrm and WP in general - but since I don't have any knowledge specifically about hosting on wp.com i couldn't really comment on that aspect but thought I could try and nudge them in different hosting directions :-). maybe i needed to be blunter :-) Also I started it as a Comment but then thought 'what the hell' and threw it in as an Answer too.

  <p>However,  I feel like CiviCRM is more than just a typical WordPress plugin. :)</p>

  Has anyone run CiviCRM on WordPress.com?
  
  In a chat with WordPress.com, they said it would run (given that you had the business plan which allows plugins).
