I started out with coinbase because it is easy to use with a bank account but there does not seem to be a method offline backup (besides theirs). I then discovered the blockchain.info which seems much more secure. I am using coinbase to buy BTC and then transferring to the blockchain wallet.

The only thing that people miss mentioning when they recommend using blockchain.info is to download their private keys and keep them encrypted and safe.

If blockchain.info disappeared, they wouldn't have your money, but if you didn't save your wallet, your coins would essentially be lost. So yes, the online wallet recomendation is blockchain.info, but make sure and back up your wallet offline!

Thanks a lot for the important tip!
