Are My Websites at Homestead Toast?

After mentioned date all existing subscriptions will be cancelled and product will no longer be available." Does this mean Homestead (owned by Network Solutions) is cancelling all my websites in January????

I called tech support - NO WORRIES!!! - the "weblisting service" is an add-on feature that probably most of us don't use (or know what it is). Whew!!!!!

That gave me quite a fright, so thanks Mark 9227 for checking on that.

It was really weird calling tech support. I'm certain I was talking to Ai - not human. It quickly gave me the answer, but definitely wasn't real... kept laughing (and I wasn't laughing!!!) ...kinda spooky.

So this is the definition that I found online for web listing service...

A web listing service helps businesses manage their online presence by publishing and syncing their key information (like name, address, phone, hours) across numerous online directories, search engines (Google, Bing), maps (Apple Maps), and social media platforms from one central location, improving local search visibility, customer findability, and overall digital marketing. It automates updates, ensuring consistency and accuracy across platforms, which boosts search rankings and saves time. 

Is this not concerning to you for your business? What am I missing here?

Do we need to do anything different? Save any of our pics and products or does everything just roll over to a new host? I don't want to be caught off guard and start all over with pics, etc. Please change your banner to read Homestead will be called ******* after Jan. 15, 2026.

They won't roll over old Homestead websites - but a good idea to have backups of your content. Otherwise, nothing to see here - keep doin' whatcha' doin'.

The wording is weird. Sounds like "Chinglish" and suspect. Can't they word this more appropriately??
