departs 30 Nov 2026
Quick answers
- Is it true that Mozilla is shutting down Solo, its AI website builder, on 30 November 2026 — export your site before then?
- Yes. Mozilla has officially announced it, effective 30 Nov 2026. If you built a website with **Mozilla Solo** (the AI site builder for freelancers and solopreneurs, at soloist.ai), that site goes away.
- When does it take effect?
- 30 Nov 2026. Verified against the vendor's own announcement.
- What should I use instead?
- Before 30 November 2026: (1) download your website from Solo while the export is still available — Solo's support page covers how to retrieve your site data; (2) if you registered or connected a custom domain through Solo, transfer that domain registration out to a registrar you control so you keep the name; (3) rebuild or host the exported site on another platform.
What this means for you
If you built a website with **Mozilla Solo** (the AI site builder for freelancers and solopreneurs, at soloist.ai), that site goes away. Mozilla has posted a shutdown notice on the Solo homepage stating that **Solo will cease operations on 30 November 2026** and asking users to **download their websites before then**. After the shutdown the hosted site is no longer served, and the builder — including the AI generation flow that created it — is gone, so there is no in-product way to recover or re-edit the site afterward. Anyone using Solo for a live business or portfolio page needs to act before 30 November: export the site contents, move any custom domain to another host or registrar, and stand the site back up elsewhere. Paid users should also check the refund and domain-transfer details on Solo's support page.
Where to go
Before 30 November 2026: (1) download your website from Solo while the export is still available — Solo's support page covers how to retrieve your site data; (2) if you registered or connected a custom domain through Solo, transfer that domain registration out to a registrar you control so you keep the name; (3) rebuild or host the exported site on another platform. General-purpose site builders that cover the same freelancer/solopreneur use case include Carrd, Framer, Webflow, WordPress.com, or any static host for the exported files. Mozilla directs users to the Solo Support page for the exact download steps, refund policy, and domain-transfer instructions.
- Carrd, Framer, Webflow, WordPress.com, or a static host — rebuild the exported site elsewhere
- Transfer any Solo-registered domain to an independent registrar to keep the name
Mozilla has posted a shutdown notice for Solo, its AI website builder aimed at freelancers and solopreneurs. According to the notice on Solo’s homepage, Solo will cease operations on 30 November 2026, and users are asked to download their websites before then.
Solo launched as one of Mozilla’s “new products” experiments — an AI tool that generated a complete small-business or portfolio website from a short description. Its closure follows the pattern of Mozilla winding down several of these side products.
What happens on 30 November 2026
- The Solo service stops operating. Hosted sites built with Solo are no longer served.
- The builder and its AI generation flow go away, so there is no way to re-edit or regenerate a Solo site afterward.
- Exports are expected to be unavailable once the service is gone — which is why the notice tells users to download before the date.
What to do before the date
- Download your website from Solo. Mozilla points users to the Solo Support page for the retrieval steps.
- Transfer any domain you registered or connected through Solo to a registrar you control, so you don’t lose the name.
- Rebuild or re-host the exported site on another platform — Carrd, Framer, Webflow, WordPress.com, or any static host will serve the exported files.
Paid users should also review the refund policy and domain-transfer details on Solo’s support page. The one hard deadline is 30 November 2026: after that, the site and the builder are gone.
Entry changelog
- — last reviewed.
- — Entry created from the official shutdown notice on Solo's own homepage (soloist.ai), which states "Solo will cease operations on Nov 30, 2026" and "Solo is shutting down - Please download your websites before Nov 30, 2026." Date quoted directly from the vendor notice; no inference. detect left empty: a hosted-SaaS website builder leaves no artifact in a code repository, so there is nothing the CLI could match without producing false alarms.
