I would’ve thought that WordPress would have come out on top, despite Blogger having the massive empire that is Google behind it. WordPress seems so much more user-friendly and customizable than Blogger ever did.
Then again, it has been a few months since I used Blogger. But how much could they have changed?
The 0.0, 0.1 and 0.2% downtimes of Blogger, WP and Typepad I’m sure must all be sufficiently close to zero for a single sample period of 2 months.
I’d guess the WP blogging includes many more sophisticated users pushing the envelope with more, and a wider variety of, plug-ins, even amongst the WP hosted population.
I was a very satisfied Blogger user for many years before I decided I needed the configurable flexibility and functionality of WP.
I’ve never tried any of those, always used self-hosted WP
blogs. One concern I had was that the investment of time wouldn’t
have produced as good long term benefits for my domain. I can
understand the low barrier to entry for the other services but it
still seems like a temporary – till I get my own blog hosted on a
dedicated server – type solution.

This survey is mainly about hosting right ?
