Dennis Cooper, whose Blogger-hosted site received attention recently after being disabled without warning, is now back online and on WordPress. A 10 year old blog post was what brought down the site. This is rightly being used as a prime example of why you should own your own data.
Looking at this scenario, many hosting companies may also shut down such a site (given the misunderstanding that occurred was that the content was illegal explicit material), but with transportable backups it would be less catastrophic, and probably easier to get hold of someone to fix it.
