This way, you can point your domain to another web host and restore the content. What people get out of these social sites is traffic and the ability to create web pages without leaving a clear trail to themselves. When you register a domain and get paid hosting, you have to make a payment to a registrar and a hosting company. You can keep some privacy through private domain registration (godaddy and other registrars offer this), but if the authorities have some legitimate beef with you, the registrars will turn over your personal information.
