CD Baby’s HostBaby is partnering with music-oriented web hosting provider Bandzoogle.
Bandzoogle will now host artist sites for HostBaby, as the web hosting service winds down.
HostBaby users will keep the same domain, inbox, and other assets, as well as all hosting time purchased and all deals with CD Baby.
As the transition occurs, HostBaby will not accept new sign ups.
In addition, users will get access to new mobile-friendly templates, direct-to-fan eCommerce features to sell music, merch, and tickets, as well as run crowdfunding and fan subscriptions, and integrations with platforms like Bandsintown and YouTube.
“We aim to make this move so effortless and easy for users, they barely notice.”

Tracy Maddux, CEO of AVL/CD Baby, added: “Bandzoogle shares our focus on artists, with tools that help them wherever they are in their career.
“They have built the best hosting product for indie musicians, and they back it up with amazing customer service.
“Like us, they keep ahead of a fast-changing business and think hard about what tools will best support artists’ dreams and goals. I can’t think of a better partner in web hosting, and I’m glad we finally get to work more closely together to promote indie music as a whole.”
