Sadly, that happened to me as well. I even tried to trim down and tweak the message so it wouldn't get tagged as spam, yet convey the urgency of the matter. Seems it is now hit'n'miss with spam filters.

We will be processing pro-rated refunds after the final cutoff point is reached for our data center. The email address to use is "closure@FutureQuestInc.net"

Have you considered a rate increase? How much of an increase would it require to keep Futurequest going?

Great question. My thoughts exactly. Maybe we could have helped.

I can't remember ever being so sad about a *company.* I'm heartbroken.

Thank you for the decades of support and partnership.

This is, of course, terrible and sad news. Thank you FQ for years of dedicated service.
A practical question....
is there a reason the community boards have been wiped and the current thread is all that is available? There were definitely threads in the past which had information that could have helped some of us with this transition. Can they be restored?

for what it's worth, I'll probably go with A2 Hosting, they have been recommended by quite a few people
(others on that list: bluehost, dreamhost, siteground)

the threads are still there, e.g.
https://www.futurequest.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=26461

but you'll need to use Google to find stuff you're interested in

Re: FutureQuest, Inc. is closing our virtual doors on or before July 14th, 2023

So very sorry to hear this news. I was a happy customer for just under 20 years and will miss the FutureQuest Team, especially Bob Johnson, for all the amazing customer service and help through the years. Thank you for everything. You will be greatly missed!!

Just a quick question, and I know there might not be a simple answer, but could you please give some quick tips to quickly relocate web hosting for a Wordpress site?

1. Backup the website/blog to my computer
2. Secure an alternative web host
3. Set up Wordpress on the new site
4. Upload Theme and plug-ins
5. Upload MySQL database to the new site
6. Pray it works


For those who can't find another host, Groove is a free alternative...they have paid accounts also, but you can have several fully functional websites for free... https://groovepages.groovesell.com/a/e7Z7YAZqpvMT
