Pastebin means that you paste your text online. Yet, quite often, my text is nicely formatted whereas all Pastebins that I have seen so far leaves only plain text or applies language-specific autoformatting. Can formatting be pasted along with text? Can I do the custom formatting? Does "paste" mean that you lose your formatting?
Many services, like textsnip.com, say that they support formatting. But, I do not see how it is preserved. I see that text is turned into plain during the paste and formatting is not recovered once I "get my URL". I tried to paste HTML but it is rendered as plain text also. What do they mean by "keeping our formatting"?

Pastebin is a site for sharing only plain text or source code. From their FAQ:
You could try an alternative like a public Google Doc.
