... and I never even got a warning email.

Hope no-one else is/was using them

Not much help now but I remember receiving an email - and I haven't used them for around 5 years!

[Spartacus]

Myself and two of my clients were using them and none of us where notified.

Criminal it is!

I got a couple of emails warning me... I haven't used them for years either.

Lycos is no more in web hosting business. They are suggesting their clients to switch to their partner company.

I received lots of emails about this, well in advance and right up until the day of closure. Most of my domains were purchased through them so I had to transfer them all last month.

[Spartacus]

It's really odd 'cos I got all the emails they send with iinvoices and stuff, but nothing about this.

How painfull / lengthy was the transfer process? Did you swith to Strato as the recommend.

[befuddle]

I didn't use Stratos as I thought their costs were too high.

I did have to ring up Lycos to ask them to change the IPS Tag for 123-Reg and then I pointed them to Servage for the actual hosting.

They were a big company may be business would have been too bad with them.
