There’s a big change coming in the industry. Newfold Digital – the company behind brands like Bluehost, HostGator, and Network Solutions – announced today that it is closing the Web.com brand. In the next few weeks, all Web.com customer accounts will be moved to Network Solutions.
What this means for customers
According to the company, the transition should be smooth. Usernames and passwords will stay the same, and pricing will not change. Customers will continue to use the same services they had before, with access to some extra tools and support from Network Solutions.
Web.com and Network Solutions have already shared the same backend system for a while, so most users won’t notice big differences when managing their accounts.
The move could also help domain investors who have accounts scattered across different platforms like NameJet and SnapNames. Now it should be easier to manage everything in one place.
In short: Newfold is closing Web.com but promises that nothing important will change for customers — just a new name above the login screen. Time will tell if the transition really goes as smoothly as planned.
