I wrote a few months ago about the unfortunate news that United Online, the company that bought PhotoSite from us, was shutting down PhotoSite. While that has happened, it is still the case that you can move your photos for the next few months by using a migrator that the folks at SmugMug built. I thought I'd post the instructions if you want to try the migrator:
You can download and install the tool at http://www.smugglr.net/. You’ll need Firefox to run this since it’s a Firefox extension. After you install the tool go into the Firefox Tools menu and click on Smugglr. This will launch the migration wizard which is pretty self explanatory. You’ll need to enter your PhotoSite login / password and your Smugmug login / password into the tool for it to migrate the data over. So make sure to create a Smugmug account before running the tool. You can use the coupon code “photosite” to get 50% off the first year of your Smugmug membership.
Enjoy!

Hello Justin (my sons name too!)
I am wanting to sign up for a store, and as a matter of fact, we did. Our delimma was that before we signed up, we could not find any way to contact homestead, so we would know that homestead is integrated with googlecheckout, which is what payment service we use. After we signed up and paid, we found out we cannot use googlecheckout. My question, will you be integrating this service any time soon? Many folks such as myself, prefer not to do business with paypal. Also, I signed up and paid for a store and within a few hours, called your customer service, and they cancelled my store. Just want to make sure my card is not charged. Hope we can come back and build our store with you! regards

Congrats!
(And I do hope you read this comment!)
I've been with Homestead since it was FREE! (Have 3 websites). Have no idea how long that's been, but a long time...
HOWEVER, this sale really concerns me. When you sold PhotoSite, IT FOLDED within 2 yrs!!!!
