Fleek Hosting is shutting down on Jan 31st, so if you still have IPFS content pinned there, you’ll want to migrate ASAP.
We just published a step-by-step guide on migrating from Fleek → Filebase, including a new importer that pulls all pinned CIDs from your Fleek project automatically (using your Fleek PAT + Project ID).
Also: Fleek shared a promo code for Fleek users — use code FLEEK to get your first month free on a $20 Filebase plan.
Happy to answer questions or dive into technical details.
A little reminder that the latest Kubo defaults are important during the Fleek → Filebase transition. Your IPFS content is announced nearly instantly and remains stable over time, even with big pin sets, when DHT sweep is enabled and fast root CID is provided. Better discovery, less network spikes, and less strange “why isn’t this showing up” behavior.
It’s also good that provider states don’t reset to zero because they can now withstand restarts. If everything seems more seamless after the migration, it’s not luck; it’s just improved IPFS networking.
Big thanks to Filebase for making the transition smoother for paid clients, that’s really helpful!
For those of you who already have web2 hosting and prefer to self-host, there’s another path worth knowing about. If you want full control over CID creation, DNSLink management, and the ability to pin to multiple IPFS storage providers (including your own cluster), we put together a short guide that walks you through it:
Between Filebase’s option and the self-hosting route, hopefully there’s a migration path that works for everyone’s needs. If you run into any gaps, let us know.
