So you are saying this guy couldn't afford a domain and cheap hosting all these years and counted on Google to keep the blog live on the internet? Time and time again, Google has destroyed lives including all those AdSense publishers who loss a ton of money way back in the day.

Did anyone of his friends talk to him about branding his name online and get a real URL and cheap hosting? Really, he got what was coming to him.

Even though My host does a backup of my blogs, I download the backups every few days to my external HDD. I plan for the worse..
