Has any ABer who is with TalkTalk had any problems with this ISP removing their Webspace platform, especially if anyone has a web site uploaded and might lose the content? Ta Muchly.

I must have forgotten to check the receive email or else AB and my reader are playing up again, so forgive me if I go and write this again.

Your query is showing Woodelf, maybe no one has yet seen it who has a reply.

Hang on a while.

Hi woodelf - I've no experience with TalkTalk or having a web site, so can't offer help as such, but just in case you're not aware of it, there is some discussion on the TalkTalk Community Forum here -

https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Broadband/Discontinuation-of-Webspace/td-p/2195188

This link provided a couple of times in there -

https://help2.talktalk.co.uk/webspace-service-update

gives some info on moving your web site. I'll presume your screen reader can cope with those links so I'll not repeat all the info. If that isn't the case or you need anything further, post again here & I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

At one time almost every ISP offered free web hosting to its customers. Now it's almost unknown. Some providers have allowed websites which were set up years ago to remain in place (as TalkTalk has done up until now with your website, which uses an old Tiscali domain name) but most seem to have closed such sites down (usually after giving the site owners time to migrate their sites to other platforms).

So what TalkTalk now seem to be proposing to do is nothing new. Most other ISPs did it years ago. You need to find someone who can help you migrate your site to another free platform, such as Wix or Wordpress. (If you really get stuck, I'll have a bash at it myself - but it's not really my area of expertise; there must be others here who're far more knowledgeable than me in such matters).

Brilliant Lie-in King for the community forum link, I learned a lot there, the other two links I've visited already, but a waste of time, but Great Thanks. nd Chris, I've been warned off using Wix, so I'll have a look at Word Press - and Mamya, a Great Big Wavy Smile - to you all too, if ou're that way inclined lol.

I'm always slightly inclined - big smile right back.x
