Typepad Will Shut Down Sept. 30, Making All Hosted Blogs Inaccessible

Users have until Sept. 30 to export data via Movable Type before accounts are deactivated.

Overview

  • Subscription billing stops Aug. 31, with the company saying it will attempt prorated refunds for recent payments.
  • Access to account management, blogs and all hosted content ends after Sept. 30, with officials saying the service ceases to exist Oct. 1.
  • Content can be exported in Movable Type Import Format, a file type that can be imported to platforms such as WordPress.
  • Typepad characterized the closure as a recent decision, despite telling a user in March there were no plans to shut down.
  • The platform ended new signups around 2020 after long-running decline from its early-2000s prominence as a widely used blogging host.
