Site Archiving Not Working

The sites are maintained on Sitebuilder Plus. I used the Sitebuilder Desktop to build and maintain them years ago, but I've been smoothly and uneventfully using Plus for the past ten years or so. Any clues? Thanks. JPZ

1. Log in: Go to homestead.com and log into your account.
2. Access Manager: Click on "Websites Manager".
3. Select Site: If you have multiple sites, choose the correct one from the dropdown.
4. Create Archive: Under the "Edit site" button, click "More", then select "Create new site archive file".
5. Download: After processing, a download link will appear under "More"; click it to get a compressed file (like .zip) of your site.
6. Extract: Use programs like 7zip or WinRAR to open and view the files. 

1. Open Page: Navigate to the page you want in your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.).
2. Save: Go to your browser's File menu and select "Save Page As...".
3. Save Details: Choose a location and ensure you're saving the entire page (HTML and associated files) to preserve functionality, as suggested by this YouTube video. 

russell5607 - Thanks for the reply. Yes, the above procedure is what I've been doing without a hitch for years and years. Suddenly, this morning, the "archiving" stage never completes. I get no new compressed zip file to save. It just keeps "thinking," and spinning. I've read that others have reported a similar status over the past months, but it has never happened to me...until now. I know what's supposed to happen, but it's not happening.

Perhaps it will work tomorrow.

This is the latest:​

• Websites are not shutting down: The notification only affects the "Web Listings" add-on feature, which many customers do not actively use or are aware they have. Existing customer websites and other services will continue to function without disruption.
• Company transition: The service removal coincides with Homestead being integrated more fully into the Network Solutions brand and suite of services.
• Ongoing issues: Separately from the "Web Listings" notification, some users have reported persistent issues with website editing tools and customer support, leading some to seek alternative platforms. 

• No action required: If you do not use the specific "Web Listings" add-on, no action is required.
• Contact support for clarification: If you are concerned about your specific services, or want to explore new products, you should contact Homestead/Network Solutions customer support directly.
  • Phone support: Call 1-800-710-1998 from the U.S. or Canada to speak with a representative.
• Access your account: You can continue to log in to your account via the Homestead login page to manage your existing services.
