Mozilla has announced plans to shut down Solo, its AI-powered website builder and hosting service, on November 30, 2026. The decision comes after nearly two years of operation. Mozilla expressed gratitude for the support users provided in building and growing the platform, noting the valuable feedback received.
Solo launched in December 2023 as part of Mozilla's Innovation Projects. The service aimed to assist sole traders in creating webpages for their services using their Large Language Model (LLM) for page creation. Over 54,000 individuals utilized this feature, relying on Mozilla to host their pages with custom domain names.
Users have until October 31 to find an alternative platform for their webpages. Mozilla provided detailed guidance on how to export their data, including HTML files, contact forms, newsletter submissions, and an image CSV. However, users must separately download their images and transfer their domains to Name.com, with Mozilla facilitating the transfer process post-user account creation and code submission.
