The company has managed users assigned to a separate assistance page, detailing how they can export to alternative platforms.
Typepad uses the mobile type import format (MTIF) to generate export files, which means that users can easily import their blogs into popular platforms like WordPress.

All users who pay for the platform will not have to modify their account – the invoicing will be automatically stopped, and any recent payment will be issued a refund to the pro rata.
To this song, users are invited to ensure that their payment methods in the file are up to date to ensure a transparent reimbursement.
With less than one FAQ page, those who need additional support are invited to submit a ticket from their Typepad account.
“We really appreciate your business and we apologize for any disadvantage that it could cause. Thank you for being a precious customer,” wrote the company.
