Cancellation of your Tripod Account and your free Tripod Homepage

Dear User,


as announced on the 26th of November 2008 the portal and webhosting activities of the Lycos Europe GmbH will be discontinued. Unfortunately, the free hosting service Tripod is effected. For this reason we are hereby terminating your Tripod Account as of 15th February 2009.
Until the 15th February you can use your Tripod account and your Homepage as usual. After this date we will close your account and delete all your ******* which was stored on Tripod in accordance with legal requirements.
After this date it will be ímpossible to view your Homepage in the internet or to do a Backup using FTP from your page because the ******* will be unrecoverably deleted. That is why we advise you to to backup all necessary data in the near future from your Tripod Account on your hard drive and if wanted to upload it to another homepage provider.
Please keep in mind that we do not offer any support for the free homepages neither by phone nor by email for upcoming questions. Because of this reason we created a short description how to backup your data.
We regret having to take this step and we want to thank you for your confidence in the past.
Currently, we are still working on finding a solution to provide you the service through another provider. If we should succeed in doing so, we will inform you within the next 4 weeks. But as this is currently doubtful, we would like to ask you to assume the end of the service.
Despite the sad news we wish you and your family a successful 2009.

Best wishes,
Your Lycos Tripod Team

Data Backup

Attention:
We cannot guarantee and /or take over liability for the correctness of this "How To". For the case that you lose your data because of following this "How To" you cannot claim Lycos for damage. You are alone responsible for the backup of your data. Because of this reason please import / upload your data to your new Web space, test it extensively and check if really all relevant data were saved.

Step by Step "How To":

1. Create a folder, in which you want to save your data.

Create a connection over a FTP-program:

FTP-Server: ftp.members.*************
Username: Name of the site (f.e.: username)
Password: Login Password of the site
Connection-Typ: passiv

2. Mark all dates, that you want to save and draw them into the folder which you have created in point 1.

3. If you have data in your mySQL Database, you have to save it in an additional step. For this you have to login to www.tripod.************* and click on the left on "online tools" and after that on "open PHP4U". A popup will open. Please choose under the point "Dump", "Structure and Data" and press then on "Send". Then press "OK". You will get a SQL File, which you can save on your Harddrive.

4. Add-ons like Guestbooks, Polls, Statistices and Counters are not able to save and you have to save them manually, if you need that data.
