[TNW’s WHOIS query]
Yes, definitely. We depend on Google for many things, from recipes to top 10 of anything, from daily tips to best quotes. Least to our knowledge, we include many sites that are with the extension Blogspot.in. People usually prefer this based on the security google provides as well as it being free! But now nothing exists. Most affected are the bloggers who are going to miss the content as well as the money they make out of this blog.
What is the alternative?
Blogspot.in (.in specifies India i.e., country-specific) Blogspot.com is still working. But what has to be noticed is this can happen to Blogspot.com as well. So, it is always better to prefer the premium services that come with full proof security terms and conditions.
