Homepages and Freepages URLs Are Working Again
Homepages Hosted Sites
If you had a homepages hosted web site (all of which should be restored), you will find your hompages URL will work.For example, if you site is ~aihbt:
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aihbt
now works, as does
http://sites.rootsweb.com/~aihbt
You can also use https if you prefer:
https://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aihbt/
Freepages Hosted Sites
If you had a freepages hosted site (and your site has been restored) you should be able to get to your content again.For example, if your account is gillespiehistory and if you use the URL:
http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory/genealogy
You will be taken to the contents of your genealogy_html directory. Alternatively, you can also use the old URL:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory
which will automatically redirect you to the new version of the URL. Just substitute the name of your account into the URL.
All of the old URLs will work and redirect to the new versions, you may use which ever one you wish:
- college-alumni: http://freepages.college-alumni.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory (redirects to http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory/college-alumni)
- computers: http://freepages.computers.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory (redirects to http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory/computers)

- misc: http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory (redirects to http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory/misc)
- nostalgia: http://freepages.nostalgia.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory (redirects to http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory/nostalgia)
- religions: http://freepages.religions.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory (redirects to http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory/religions)
- school-alumni: http://freepages.school-alumni.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory (redirects to http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory/school-alumni)
https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gillespiehistory/history
We have no plans to make https work with the old freepages URLs.
