Is Center State Communications closing for good or is the Nationwide Dial-Up Internet Access Service the only service being phased out?:

The only service being phased out from our long list of communication services is the Nationwide Dial-Up Internet Access Service. Commercial, Non Profit and Personal Web Design, Web Hosting, Hosted Email, Domain Name Registration, Domain Name Transfers, Parked Domains, and many of our other services will continue to function after the closure of CSC's Nationwide Dial-Up Internet Access Service.

Center State Communications plans on releasing several new services that will be included in phase two of our planned service changes.
