what if blogspot goes out of business?

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.

I believe many people will go out of business if blogspot goes out of business. Many people's blogshops will no longer be there and they have to find another platform like wordpress.

Google will never do this.
Because they are earning allot of profet through Blogger

I don't think it will go off. Its a google made think, not a joke.

Who knows if it may ever happen? It is a free service with so many users. It doesn't make revenue sense to give so much support to a system unless they earn from it. I suspect they will eventually take the Wordpress route and start charging for various stuff.

I used blogspot for a few years, switched to WP and am now fully self hosted.

I'm quite sure it's safe to use blogspot for atleast 5 more years.
And if you haven't got your own website by then, chances are your blog is not worth spending time on x'D
