Does Anyone Have Any Idea Why My Blog is Appearing and Disappearing?

I have had a successful blog for four years. It is where I earn most of my online money. It is called baby-boomer-retirement. It is a blogger blog (originally: baby-boomer-retirement.blogspot until I bought the domain name.) Not once in five years have I had a problem with it ... until yesterday.
It disappeared for a while last night. I could see my other blogs, but not that one. I could even get into the Admin part of my blog and see the stats. However, I could not open either the homepage or any of the posts.
It reappeared just as I was going to bed. This morning, it was back up again. Then I ran some errands and it had disappeared again when I got home. It reappeared mid-afternoon. Disappeared again. Reappeared this evening. Disappeared again.
Each time it has disappeared, I have tried to find it on multiple devices and using different browsers. I can see my other blogs, but not that one.
Since it is a blogger blog, my web host is Google. I have tried contacting them through their help boxes when you look for answers to questions, but I have not heard anything, yet, and the problem is not fixed.
Does anyone have a better way to contact Google about a blogger blog?
I removed the .com from the URLs above, so I wasn't including a link. I just wanted to know if anyone else knows what is going on.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

Hmm.. Maybe it has something to do with the Web Hosting Service? Maybe they needed to update their servers or something which causes the problem you are having. If it still continues on a daily basis, maybe it's time to ask for their customer support. Kudos~

That is worrisome I have not bought the domains name and have never had an issue but I thin the suggestion to contact the webhost is a good one.

@DeborahDiane I have never tried but I have heard they are not easy to contact or to get to respond to you.

Were you receiving an error message when you tried to load the homepage and posts? If you were, that could give a clue as to what was happening.
My initial thought is that it could be an issue with the domain registrar, since all of your other blogs were showing up without a problem.

Is it in order for us to provide the link to our blog in a post here?

This is helpful information. Perhaps it is a problem with my domain registrar. I need to check on that possibility. Oh, thanks for the comment about the blog link. It isn't a live link, but I could remove the .com part if that would be better. I thought it might help people help me if they knew which blog I was talking about.

@yukimori - @allknowing - I removed the .com and the I just wanted people to know what blog I'm talking about. The message I get when I try is simply "Problem loading page." Further down it says "The Connection Has Timed Out." However, this only happens on this one blog. (sigh)

I tweeted out a link to this article and my blog started working. I don't know if that is the reason why, but it did work!

Yikes. Can you ask their admin or customer service?

@DeborahDiane That sounds like a blitz to me, hard to ignore. Glad it is working again.

I wished I could help you with that problem, but I do not know anything about it. Good luck getting it fixed though.
