If you use still use their wallet, you better make a backup now.
So, you can access your bitcoin using other wallet if blockchain.info is down or you decided to use other wallet.

Personally, i recommend you to stop use blockchain.info wallet & use other wallet such as Electrum for Windows or Mycelium for Android, both of them are good wallets.
For block explorer function, you can use blocktrail as alternative

Thank you for your recommondations! I will download an wallet for android, but is that less secure than a windows wallet?

I hear some people to reccommend others to stop using blockchain and use blocktrail. I also know that blockchain is down or attacked often. What should i do?

For me it's best to just use another service but then as they said it will depend on your preference. The problems of blockchain will eventually be fixed I guess, if not then maybe it is time to leave them.

If you just want to check address balance/transaction history, there are quite a number of site other than blockchain. Blocktrail is one of them. Other such as blockexplorer.com, biteasy, etc are also useful...

Both of them are open source so I don't think there is something to worry about , you can restore your wallet for sure even if blockchain goes down by setting up the source code on a Web server or your local PC or whatever and then use the seed they gave you or something like that . However it's always nice to have a backup , you could speed things up just in case .

It depends on your preference, if you have your wallet.dat file which is sent to you from blockchain when you make your account you can still manually send, assuming you don't want to install Core then having two wallets in case one is down splits the risk of failure from any one service in half and ensures that you will be able to use one if the other fails.

I guess you should just make a spare wallet and keep blockchains as well.
