If a comet comes and wipes out our planet then probably your blog will not be accesible to visitors... That would suck, wouldn't it? My point is : let's not worry too much. Worrying that the hardware would fail if you were to host the blog yourself is exageration. @ “But wherever I move the blog there is a danger some third party is going to let me down.

I had to use google's cache and the archive.org to resurrect my old homepage, and I still dont have access to my own old domain name. The things I have learned the hard way: * Use a very large hosting service that has good reputation. Don't bother with small ones, the risks are too high. * Backup regularly, e.g. with a cron job. And check if you can restore your site from the backups! * Only host yourself when you have lots of free time and are willing to do 24/7 service.

And considering I only have one disk in my laptop, I really should be doing them. Maybe I will now. But like you said, until something like this happens you think you are safe. I had a similar experience just couple of days ago. My car radio was stolen from me. I was foolish enough to leave the faceplate on when I parked the car. You can be sure I will always remove it from now on (when I get a new radio of course, which will cost me a fortune (the old one was about 250€ :()).
