Page was down during a crawl, and now Google's dropped it

Will this eventually fix itself, or do I need to do something?

A hobby site I have on a free hosting service overran its bandwidth quota recently, resulting in the site being down for several days till I moved some larger files off of it. Shortly thereafter, the site disappeared from Google search results. I know there's an update on and all that, but I'm pretty sure this particular disappearance is directly related to the outage, since the search term in question is super-uncompetitive and my site is gone from the index completely, not just buried on page #451 or whatever.

So assuming I'm right, and Google dropped the site because it found nothing there when it tried to crawl it last time... will this fix itself on its own next cycle? I don't mind this site just sitting around Google-free for a month till Google notices it again--as I said, it's just a hobby site on a very obscure topic--but if I need to do something to ensure it is eventually noticed again, I'd probably rather do that now than later.

It does happen, they'll find it again.

If possible, get rid of the bandwidth restriction. As cheap as paid hosting is nowadays, even if it's a hobby site if it's worth putting effort into it's worth making sure it's available for visitors to find if that's what's happening.

If it's a domain name hosted free you could move it, and if it's a subdomain of the host it would be a good time to check into getting a domain name, seeing how many are linking to you and who, and start the process of making the transition to regular hosting if you can.

Do you have a domain name for the site?

Nah, it's a freebie Geocities site. The bandwidth restriction is kind of annoying, but the site doesn't usually get that kind of traffic; what happened was that I had a page with an unusually large image on it that got posted on somebody's blog and spread around blogland till my bandwidth died.

I may get it a real domain eventually. It just sees so little traffic ordinarily that spending money on buying it more bandwidth always seems like fixing a leaky roof in the middle of the desert. *sheepish grin* Thanks for the suggestions!

Marcia,
I'm using free hosts - how do you go about moving
hundreds of pages to a paid host?
Thanks
