AI Website Builders Break Portability

AI‑driven site builders and their associated hosting/domain bundles create new forms of lock‑in: when a vendor shuts a service it can strand thousands of users with partial exports, separate image dumps, and complex domain transfers. Short notice and imperfect export formats amplify the risk of data loss and business disruption for sole traders and small sites. — This highlights a recurring regulatory and consumer‑protection problem: AI product churn plus bundled hosting/domains leaves small users exposed and demands new portability, notice, and escrow norms.
