Google arn't going to shut down blogger any time soon. But if they did, they'd give people notice so they could transfer their material elsewhere.
Yahoo closed Geocities last year and they gave all users plenty of time to shift their stuff

lol that wud be a disaster
How does one go about switching hosts? Backing up posts?
They might go to a pay format in the future but I certainly wouldnt think they would completely shut down. At least not anytime soon. They would lose a lot of adsense revenues. But then again it is google. The adsense revenues from blogspot are pennies compared to what they make on a daily basis.
I don't think blogspot will be out of business because it's running by google. :rolleyes:
Does blogger blogs come with auto backup feature? Sorry for the noob question, but I'm more familiar with Wordpress.
backup your blog on a daily basis. If you're that afraid its going to happen. Purchase a domain name for like $10.00 USD, get hosting for your domain and restore your backup. Then you won't have to worry about it. Don't go with a cheap host. Especially for a blog using wordpress or some other blog script. They can sometimes be heavy. I recommend starting with a VPS, just so you don't have to worry about a shared webhosting company suspending your site after traffic gets a little heavy or if you have a spike in visitors one day. Then you have to worry about it happening again and you will start looking for a VPS. Don't go for the cheapest company you find. You get what you pay for!
