Solo website migration: back up your whole website, pictures included.
Mozilla is closing Solo, its website builder, and says every Solo website and its data will be deleted on November 30, 2026. Mozilla’s own download leaves your pictures behind. Type your Solo address and your whole website is backed up to Jaybird in a few seconds: the same words, pictures and look, on an address of its own, with nothing to pay and no account needed to see it. Keep it with your email address and it stays online. For $7 a month it is hosted on your own domain, managed and changed by asking.
Moving : reading its pages and copying its pictures. This takes a few seconds. Still working: a large website can take up to a minute.
Your website is moved
Here it is, on an address of its own. Look it over on your computer and your phone.
Open my website Keep my website
- Pages copied
- Pictures copied
- Stays up as a draft until
- of your pages could not be read this time. Move it again in a minute to bring them in.
- of your pictures could not be copied and still load from Solo, so they stop showing when Solo closes. Start your plan before November 30 and ask the assistant to bring them in.
- of your blog posts could not be copied and are still linked at Solo. Start your plan before November 30 and ask the assistant to bring them in.
- Your contact form is in place. It starts delivering messages to you when your plan starts; until then it sends nothing.
- Code you pasted into a Solo page was not copied. The assistant can put it back once your plan starts.
- Solo has closed, so this is the copy we made of your website on , before it closed. Anything you changed on Solo after that day is not in it.
What happens next
This copy is a draft and stays up for 7 days. Keep my website asks for your email address so it stays online at its address. When you are ready, the plan puts it on your own domain, hosted and managed, and changed by asking: $7 a month or $70 a year, with 14 days to change your mind.
That address is not a Solo website.
Type the address your Solo website has, such as soloist.ai/yourname, or its own domain. Moving from somewhere else? Check what would move from any website
If it is a Solo website, write to us and we will move it by hand: steve@jaybirddigital.com
Solo has closed, and we do not have a copy of that website.
We copied many Solo websites before it closed, but not this one. If you typed your own domain, try your Solo address instead, such as soloist.ai/yourname. Check the spelling, or write to us and we will see what can be done: steve@jaybirddigital.com
We could not open that website.
Check the spelling, or copy the address from the top of your browser and try again. If Solo has already closed, its websites can no longer be read.
If it keeps happening, write to us and we will move it by hand: steve@jaybirddigital.com
That does not look like a website address.
Type soloist.ai/ followed by your website’s name, or your own domain.
One thing first.
Tick the box to say the website is yours, or that its owner has said you may copy it.
This website is too large to move in one step.
Write to us and we will move it by hand before Solo closes: steve@jaybirddigital.com
A lot of websites are moving right now.
Wait a minute and try again. Your Solo website is not affected. If it keeps happening, write to us and we will move it by hand: steve@jaybirddigital.com
Moves are paused for a moment.
Write to us and we will move yours: steve@jaybirddigital.com
The move did not finish.
Try again in a moment. If it keeps happening, write to us and we will move it by hand: steve@jaybirddigital.com
What Mozilla has said
Solo closes on November 30, 2026.
- Everything is deleted that day. Mozilla says all Solo websites and data will be deleted on November 30, 2026, and cannot be recovered afterwards.
- The download is not the whole website. In your Solo account settings, Download Website Data gives you a ZIP file: an HTML copy of your website and a list of links to your pictures, contact-form messages and newsletter sign-ups. The pictures themselves are not in the file.
- A Solo domain does not move by itself. For a domain bought through Solo Domains, Mozilla asks you to open an account at Name.com, its domain partner, and email Mozilla that account’s code. Mozilla then moves the domain into your account.
Read on November 10, 2026 from Mozilla’s Solo shutdown questions. If Mozilla changes its dates, its page is the one to trust.
How it works
What moving a Solo website does, step by step.
-
You type your Solo address
The one at soloist.ai, or your own domain. We read your public pages the way a visitor does. We never ask for your Solo password, and nothing on your Solo website changes.
-
Your website is moved in a few seconds
Every page is copied with its words, colours, fonts and layout, and your pictures are copied into storage of your own, so nothing depends on Solo any more. You get a link to see it, with no account.
-
You keep it
Give your email address and the copy stays online at its address. That is all it takes to be safe before Solo closes.
-
You start your plan when you are ready
The plan puts your website on your own domain, hosted and managed, with a contact form that reaches you and changes made by asking. You approve a private preview before anything goes live.
What moves
What comes across from Solo.
Copied at once
- Every public page and section, with its words, headings and titles
- Your pictures, copied from the live website while it is still up
- Your blog, with each post as a page of its own
- Your colours, fonts and layout, so it looks like your website
- Your links to social pages and to anything else your website points at
May need your help
- Past contact-form messages and newsletter sign-ups: they are in Mozilla’s download, and nowhere else
- Your contact form: it is copied, and delivers to you once your plan starts
- Appointments: your scheduling link is kept, or set up again with our bookings Beta, which take no payment yet
- A map: it becomes a link to the place, and the assistant can show the map again once your plan starts
- A domain bought through Solo: you ask Mozilla to move it to a Name.com account of yours first
- Your soloist.ai address: it goes away with Solo, so tell people your new address or use your own domain
Before November 30
Three things to do while Solo is still up.
- Move your website and keep it. The copy of your pages and pictures has to be made while your Solo website is still online.
- Download Mozilla’s file. It is the only copy of your contact-form messages and newsletter sign-ups. Keep it somewhere safe.
- Ask for your domain early. If you bought it through Solo, Mozilla moves it to a Name.com account of yours only after you send it that account’s code, and that waits on Mozilla. Then connect it to your new website. Move your Solo domain, step by step
Good to know
Questions about leaving Solo.
How much does it cost to move my Solo website?
Moving it and looking at it costs nothing and needs no account. The plan is $7 a month, or $70 a year, with no setup fee: it puts your website on your own domain, lets you change it by asking and makes your contact form deliver to you. Cancel within 14 days of your first payment and it is refunded in full. A domain name is a separate yearly cost.
Will my website look the same?
As near as we can make it: the same words, pictures, colours, fonts and layout, page for page. The exceptions are the things Solo’s own scripts did. The menu is shown open instead of behind a button, a map becomes a link to the place, and code you pasted into a page is not copied.
When does my Solo website stop working?
Mozilla says Solo will cease operations on November 30, 2026, and that all Solo websites and data will be deleted that day with no way to recover them afterwards. A copy of your pages has to be made before then, while they are still up.
Is Mozilla’s download enough to move my website?
It helps, but it is not the whole website. Mozilla’s download is a ZIP file with an HTML copy of your website and a list of links to your pictures, contact-form messages and newsletter sign-ups. The pictures themselves are not in the file. We copy your pictures from the live website, which only works while it is still up. Download Mozilla’s file anyway: it is the only copy of your form messages and sign-ups.
What happens to my Solo domain?
It does not move by itself. For a domain bought through Solo Domains, Mozilla’s shutdown page asks you to open an account at Name.com, its domain partner, fill in your contact details there and email Mozilla that account’s code. Mozilla then moves the domain into your account and emails you when it is done. Ask early, because it waits on Mozilla. The domain stays yours, in your own account. Connect it to your new website as soon as your plan here starts, while the domain still answers: we copy its records, email first, so email on it keeps working. When the domain is in your account, you enter two nameservers at Name.com. You can move the domain to us later. Your soloist.ai address goes away with Solo. Last, go to your website’s Domain page and press Put my website on yourdomain: until you do, your domain keeps showing what it showed before.
Do I need to give you my Solo password?
No. We read your public website the way a visitor sees it. Anything private, like your form messages, you download from Solo yourself. Please do not send passwords in chat.
What if I miss the deadline?
After November 30 we can no longer read your pages. If you downloaded Mozilla’s file and saved your pictures, keep them: we can build you a new website from your own words and pictures instead.
