What I'm afraid.
-
I’m afraid my blog should be deleted suddenly by the authorities.
Google often does it “at its sole discretion” on blogger blogspots and their entire accounts.
If you want to delete my account, please give reasonable prior notice so I can export all the content of mine. -
Why would anyone delete your website? Google can not delete your website.
I’ve lost count of how many WordPress.com websites I’ve created. In six years I’ve yet to have a single line deleted that I hadn’t deleted myself (or failed to save properly, in the case of occasional connectivity issues) .

If you are wondering how to get your blog suspended, see below for the Terms of service on how to not have problems

I had my google account deleted suddenly due to what they call violating terms. They never explain any more, in what sense it was violation, just say due to violating the terms.
And I lost everything kept in my google cloud, not only blogger but, such as YouTube videos and picasa photos which I deleted in local memory and drive documents.
Indeed it is solely at their discretion whether or not to delete which account. But I believe they should have noticed it in advance for me to export my own contents. I hope wordpress.com woll NOT do the same. deleting my blog without prior notice. -
If your blog is in violation they will suspend it. It’s up to you not to violate those terms.

Besides the links that auxclass provided you with, if you read the Terms of Service, as you should have when signing up for this site, you will have noted that under Clause 16 Automattic (WordPress.com’s parent company)
may terminate your access to all or any part of the Website at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. If you wish to terminate this Agreement or your WordPress.com account (if you have one), you may simply discontinue using the Website. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
So if you haven’t read the ToS yet in detail, you should. It explains what is and is not allowed on WPcom http://wordpress.com/tos/
If you are still worried, you can download back ups of your site content (without pictures) http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

I had my google account deleted suddenly…
Sorry, I had insufficient information, and misunderstood your meaning. First, I didn’t know that Google hosted blogspot. Second, I thought you meant Google might delete a WordPress account.
I’m not surprised that Google wouldn’t necessarily give notice in such cases. I suspect that WordPress might provide an opportunity to correct ToS transgressions in most cases, before going to the extent of deleting a website. From what I’ve seen, WordPress doesn’t like to delete accounts under any circumstances, even if you plead with them to delete an account.

According to the clause I quoted in my earlier reply, Automattic/WPcom has no obligation to advise a user before suspending a site for a ToS violation. Read the Suspended Blogs Support doc that auxclass linked to in his reply in order to understand the process.

According to ToS, they may do anything anytime. Every ToS like this gives the company such right (though not obligation), which may be called an adhesive contract. Validity of such contract is sometimes in doubt if sued.
Anyway Google very often deletes accounts suddenly without any notice but few people speak up to complain about, maybe because every man who has used the internet has some sense of guilt.
I would like to know reality on going, not superficial literal words. -

And this will also help to give you a reality on going

More likely because the odds of successfully overturning such a decision by a mega-corporation such as Google would be decidedly slim, not to mention expensive.
I haven’t provided any legal advice, here, and don’t intend to.
