- loup-vaillant 10y agoNo they don't —unless their author let it. My blog won't shut down even if my provider does. I'll just move it somewhere else. Of course, if you're posting on blogpost or such, it is not your blog —it's Alphabet's. If it were your personal blog, you wouldn't have put this "signal inappropriate content" button, would you?
- Buge 10y agoI mean that domain names expire. I just had some of mine expire (which I am sure I had set to auto renew). If an author is willing to move their content if their provider shuts down, that is not much different than migrating their content if medium shuts down.
- loup-vaillant 10y agoWell, domain name expiration is a problem. If you pay attention though, no domain name will ever expire —under current DNS rules at least. My own domain name is in .fr, and if it expires I have a chance to renew it before someone else is allowed to take it. There's a few weeks of delay, but truly losing a .fr name requires the owner to be really negligent. I believe .com names are more easily lost, though.
