For existing Aboundant.com clients…

We have a deep passion for helping churches with their websites, and will continue to do so through our agency, but our DIY church website network will be phased out over the next year and a half.

Don’t worry though, we have amazing new hosting options already setup for you.

Switch now and we’ll refund you the remainder of your subscription, otherwise you’ll be required to switch when your subscription is set to renew.

FAQ

 

How will the transition work?

The transition will be pretty seamless and we’ll do most of the work. Here are the steps: 

  1. Purchase your new hosting at https://aboundant.org/hosting/
  2. Email support@aboundant.com to let us know you are ready to move your site, or fill out the form at the bottom of this post: https://aboundant.org/new-hosting-options/
  3. We move your site for you and when you are satisfied with the results, we’ll point your domain at the new hosting. In just a couple of hours everyone will be getting your new site. 
  4. If you have a remaining balance on your current hosting (prorated by month), then we’ll mail you a refund check. 
Will we have access to all the same software?
  • Most clients will have access to more premium software than ever before. Aboundant has unlimited subscriptions to dozens of software packages worth thousands of dollar.
  • The new piece of software you’ll have access to is Smash Balloon, the industry leading solutions for integrating social feeds into your site, including livestreams.
  • We unfortunately will have to discontinue Charitable for online donations, but have a great alternative clients can use through Gravity Forms.
  • There are a couple of combinations of software that take up too much memory for our lowest teir, Thrive hosting plan. In those cases we’ll recommended that you stop using a peice of software or upgrade your hosting plan.
Will there still be weekly webinars?

For the time being, we’ll still have weekly webinars Thursdays at 12 central at meet.aboundant.com.

Can I upgrade my hosting?

Yes, we now have six plans to choose from and practically everyone of our users will benefit from a higher plan with more dedicated server resources. Check out our options here: https://aboundant.org/hosting/

Will support work the same?

You’ll still be able to email support@aboundant.com to work directly with your staff to address your issues, but in addition, we’ll have knew automic softare updating to keep your plugins up to date, and down the road we expect to have a 24/7 support service you can contact when we are not available. Support.Aboundant.com will still lead to our support system with built-in live chat functionality. 

What if I have a lifetime subscription?

The minimum terms of service for the lifetime subscription required us to maintain your site on the network for at least three years, the actual value of the lifetime subscription. Everyone has received that value and in most cases several more years to boot. Having said that, we’ll make sure your sites are the last one’s moved from the network, meaning you’ll have at least another year of unlimited service before we require you to move to a paid plan on the standalone hosting.

In addition, we’ll give every lifetime subscriber a $100 gift certificate when they move to a new paid plan, which you can do at any time.

If we could, we’d maintain the Aboundant church website network forever, but with rapid changes in technology, we now believe standalone hosting is the best way forward for our clients. As a small agency, Aboundant simply doesn’t have the resources to maintain both systems. Thank you for your understanding.
