And that is why everyone keeps backups of their work on their personal sites, right?

Even if they do, people lose interest, stop paying hosting fees, or generally move on. I have a generally unmaintained personal site that was on Comcast Personal Web Pages--which were shut down last year. I do have backups (which many wouldn't have had) and I did rehost the site for now (as many also wouldn't have bothered doing).
