ThirdHosting Closure: Who Is Affected and What to Do Before July 31, 2026
Updated
Third Generation Internet Services, which operated as ThirdHosting.com, ceased operations on December 31, 2025. If you still hold a domain, hosting account, or account files with ThirdHosting, you are affected and need to act: final domain transfers and access to remaining account files are only available by contacting [email protected] no later than July 31, 2026. After that date, all support channels close permanently.
Who is affected
You are affected if any of the following applies:
- You registered or managed a domain through ThirdHosting and have not yet moved it to another registrar.
- You had hosting, email, or other services with ThirdHosting that you have not replaced.
- You still need files, backups, or records from a ThirdHosting account.
- You are unsure whether you had an account and want to confirm before the deadline.
You are not affected if you already transferred your domains and retrieved your files, or if you never held an account with ThirdHosting.
What is no longer possible
Since December 31, 2025, all services, products, and business activities have been permanently discontinued. That means:
- No new services or products can be purchased or renewed.
- No hosting, email, or other services are being provided.
- The only remaining function is final domain transfers and access to remaining account files, handled through the support address below.
What you can still do, and by when
| Action | How | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Request a final domain transfer | Email [email protected] | July 31, 2026 |
| Request access to remaining account files | Email [email protected] | July 31, 2026 |
| Any other support request | Email [email protected] | July 31, 2026 |
After July 31, 2026, all support channels are permanently closed, so requests sent later cannot be handled.
How to proceed
- Identify what you still hold with ThirdHosting — domains, hosting, email, or account files.
- Email [email protected] before July 31, 2026 with a clear request: state whether you need a domain transfer, access to account files, or both, and include the account or domain details that identify you.
- Expect a response from the support channel; if you do not hear back, follow up while the address is still active.
- Once you have your domain authorization details or files, move them to a new provider promptly so nothing depends on the closing support channel.
Common pitfalls
- Waiting past July 31, 2026. The support address is the only remaining contact point, and it closes permanently on that date.
- Assuming services still run. Operations ended December 31, 2025; nothing is being hosted or renewed.
- Requesting only part of what you need. If you have both domains and files, ask for both in the same request so nothing is missed.
- Delaying the move after you get your data. Once the support channel closes, there is no fallback if a transfer fails.
