what if blogspot goes out of business?

[zeurois]

what happens if the free sites go out of business,,,, do you lose your blog?

I suggest having your blog installed on your own domain name.. and back it up on a regular basis

There should be a notification. So just switch host by then.

I wouldn't lose my blog, I'd just lose the tips from it.

I think by then should have quite a few free host coming out like Xanga etc.

There will be someone doing the free service always. Although, blogspot is run by Google, and I dont see any chance they are going out in next 10 yrs(atleast). If google can run famous but in great lose YouTube for free, blogger is returning them a lot of revenue, why they will consider closing it.

Always BACKUP! Never expect free lunch from anyone on internet.

You will lose your site and everything you posted.

That is why I host my own blogs.
