Important Notice Regarding Widomaker’s DSL Internet Service
Unfortunately, I have some bad news about the future of Widomaker’s DSL Internet service.
We have recently been notified that Verizon, the local network provider, will be retiring the copper telephone lines that deliver DSL Internet service to all of our customers. Unfortunately, this means Widomaker will no longer be able to provide DSL Internet service after July 1, 2025 September 30, 2025.
An Update Regarding Our Website
We will soon be launching a newly redesigned version of our website, Widomaker.com.
The new site has been rebuilt from the ground up to be faster, easier to navigate, and more focused on Widomaker’s core services, including Email Hosting, Web Hosting, Data Backup, Endpoint Detection and Response, and IT Consulting. Our goal is to provide you with a more efficient and user-friendly experience, with a touch of fun.
There is nothing you need to do. All of our services and your account will continue to function as they always have. We simply wanted to give you a heads-up about the upcoming visual change. We look forward to sharing our new look with you soon.

Warning: Why You Should Avoid Microsoft’s New Outlook for Email
TL;DR: Avoid the “New Outlook” or “Outlook (New)” application for email. Use Thunderbird, Widomaker Webmail, “Classic Outlook”, or another traditional email client, instead.
Microsoft’s “New Outlook” application is rolling out, and while it brings a fresh look, it introduces a significant change for users with non-Microsoft email accounts, particularly those using IMAP. If you value your privacy and data security, you need to be aware of how it handles your information.
