Seems like blockchain is trying to say that it is under maintenance . Earlier when I logged in it was saying "Chain Head Not Found". Now I cant see blockchain showing my alias . Hope it gets back soon .

Yes that true , They are doing some investigation for Database issues I think they probably have
a problem and might lost some data ! Keep watching latest updates : https://twitter.com/blockchain

Looks like they are back up now. Their API was down as well which messed up some of the blocks reporting on my site but no big deal. Too bad for BC.info they were just trying get over last week's fiasco and then they go offline for a few hours.

Yep they are back now , but still i am having trouble with downloading wallet balance . Now I am not sure whether it is my internet connection problem or their website problem.

In fact, they are down again. No need to panic. Next time when it goes up, just download the paper wallet backup of your wallet and preserve that securely. That's enough.

I don't keep any of my coins at BC.info, I only use them for their API and websocket for web development. I think their receive payments API (https://blockchain.info/api/api_receive) is unmatched by anyone in the industry even if they do go down from time to time. The only 3rd party that has a tiny bit of my coinage is circle everything else only I have access to.

Back up and running smoothly for me at least for the last couple of hours, downtime isn't too uncommon with blockchain

If I had any money on blockchain.info I'd definitely take newIndia's advice---make sure you have your own copy of the private keys---what if next time they're down they don't come back up?  It's better to be safe than sorry.

Use a desktop wallet, they are safer. I would suggest that you use Electrum on a desktop or Mycelium for mobile.

I've made a little research and the results were pointing to bitgo. Is it safe ?

Basically any wallet listed here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet is safe. Bitgo is there, so it should be safe to use.

A software based wallet will be a more secure wallet compared to web based ones ( like blockchain), so it's a good place to store your bitcoins but if you a more secured wallet and you have some budget to spend then check out those hardware wallets out there - best place to put your coins I guess.

Lite weight wallets like Multibit or Electrum will do a job great. They are easy to install, setup, and also backup. You don't have to download the whole blockchain either and yes, they are never under maintenance and never you will have any problem like all of the people have with blockchain.info wallet.

Just go with any of these two and you will be fine!

If you want to see the transaction and you try through blockchain.info
Then i would suggest to add a new website in your bookmark :)
I personally use blocktrail explorer, it has a good UI and UX and simple do the job.
About the wallets you have different choices and read this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1163283.0

BC.i users - I can't stress this enough, please take heed of this advice.
