Web.com
Web.com was a Jacksonville, Florida company that sold a hosted website builder alongside domains, hosting, and marketing services for small businesses. It became part of Newfold Digital in 2021, and in June 2025 the Web.com brand was merged into Network Solutions. Builder sites made under Web.com are now managed there.
How it models content
- Pages are assembled from layouts and drag-and-drop elements
- Templates set the overall design, picked from a library of industry layouts
- Store features handle products on e-commerce plans
- Forms and contact elements collect leads
- Many customers had sites built for them by Web.com’s design service rather than in the DIY builder
Builder sites versus hosted WordPress
The first question when moving is which kind of Web.com site you have:
| Site type | What moving involves |
|---|---|
| DIY builder or design-service site | No standard export. Content has to be copied out and rebuilt |
| WordPress hosted with Web.com | A normal WordPress move: copy files and database, or use a migration plugin |
What moving involves
- Confirm the site type in your account dashboard, now under Network Solutions.
- Check who controls the domain. If it was registered through Web.com, unlock it and get the transfer code before cancelling anything.
- For a builder site, crawl the live site, save text and images, then rebuild on the new platform.
- For a WordPress site, export the database and files, or use a migration plugin.
- Set up 301 redirects from old URLs. See 301 redirects in WordPress.
- Cancel the old plan only after DNS has moved and the new site is confirmed working.
The domain is the part people most often get stuck on. Sort it out first.
Current status
The Web.com brand no longer operates on its own. Existing customers, products, and support moved to Network Solutions, which is also owned by Newfold Digital.
