The purpose of this posting is to provide notice that the ProZ.com hosting service will be wound down in the coming months.

Background

In August, 2015, it was announced that no new ProZ.com hosting accounts would be accepted.

The message sent at the time read:

"When ProZ.com hosting was first introduced, hosting services were much less accessible than they are today, and it was deemed a valuable service to extend to ProZ.com members. Currently, economical solutions of this kind which exceed the capacity of ProZ.com hosting exist through many third-party providers.

For this reason, as of August 2015 the ProZ.com hosting service has been suspended. Full members who already had hosting accounts through ProZ.com may maintain their existing accounts, but no new accounts are being created."


Coming changes

The next step is now being taken toward ending the ProZ.com hosting service. Effective December 1, 2020, all ProZ.com hosting accounts will be shut down, and domain renewals will no longer be possible through ProZ.com.

Steps to take

If you are an active user of ProZ.com hosting, either for email or website hosting, you will need to migrate to another service provider.

There are many hosting providers on the internet. Some well-known ones are Bluehost and Dreamhost. You may find others more suitable given your needs, location, language and so on. Migrating involves transferring your domain to the new provider, then moving over data such as html files and so on.

It is our intention as ProZ.com staff members to help ensure that migration is as easy as possible for you, and that none of your data is lost. We have started a thread on the forum where people can discuss different options. If you require additional assistance, staff members are also available to help you complete the migration. Please enter a support ticket.
