The "website going out of business destroyed my content" problem is one that needs to be addressed. One promising idea is content-addressable storage, like IPFS-hosted repos -- anyone can self-host at a stable URL. (I don't know if IPFS has a good solution yet to the problem branches solve in git, namely having a named, auto-advancing pointer to the content address of the latest version.)
