If you’re looking for a hosted blog platform, you may want to avoid Microsoft’s Windows Live Spaces.
According to figures released today by Royal Pingdom, Microsoft’s Windows Live Spaces is down more than 12 times as much as WordPress, Blogger and TypePad.
Royal Pingdom checked nine major blogging services over a four month period to see how much downtime they have. The included services were Typepad, Blogger, WordPress.com, Blogster, Blog.com, Vox, Squarespace, Windows Live Spaces and LiveJournal.
They found that TypePad, Blogger and WordPress were significantly more reliable than Windows Live Spaces and other blogging options:
| Site | Uptime % | Downtime |
|---|---|---|
| Typepad | 99,99% | 14m |
| Blogger | 99,99% | 20m |
| WordPress.com | 99,99% | 20m |
| Windows Live Spaces | 99,86% | 4h 10m |
| Blogster | 99,84% | 4h 39m |
| Squarespace | 99,82% | 5h 13m |
| Vox | 99,77% | 6h 36m |
| LiveJournal | 99,52% | 13h 50m |
| Blog.com | 98,75% | 1d 12h 15m |
Typepad and WordPress.com are also popular choices with top bloggers:
- Typepad is used by 16 of the top 100 blogs;
- WordPress.com is used by 5 of the top 100; and
- Blogger is used by 3 of the top 100 blogs.
If you’re considering a blogging service, rather than managing your own site, Royal Pingdom’s stats suggest that TypePad, Blogger and WordPress.com are an order of magnitude more reliable than Windows Live Spaces and other blogging platforms.
Does anybody even use Windows Spaces for blogging?
I mean – outside of Microsoft!
The top eight differ by less than 0.5% in percentage uptime. Is that meaningful for the average blogger? Is it statistically significant given the amount of data collected? I doubt it. I’m not going to adjust my opinions of these blogging services based on this data.
Reliability also means staying online if your particular blog gets a sudden big increase in page views. This data says nothing about how well the various platforms handle traffic spikes.
