Websites: Exporting content from USNH Domains and mySites

In order to support and maintain our free website platforms, we periodically review USNH Domains and mySites at USNH accounts that have not been logged in to or updated in more than a year. Sites which are no longer active will be removed. 

If someone leaves USNH their USNH username and password permissions will change. Once these permissions change, site or domain owners will be unable to log in to their USNH websites even to delete them. 

Should a mySites website need to remain active, a current USNH faculty, staff, or student editor must agree to take ownership, and they must be added to the site as a user and assigned admin privileges.
