3D Instant Website Hosted Server

SolidWorks also makes available, at no additional charge, a web page hosting service under which it maintains a web-server and internet connections for your use in hosting the 3D Instant Website web pages. Since this is a gratuitous service, SolidWorks does not commit to continue to make it available forever. However, should SolidWorks decide to discontinue hosting 3D Instant Website pages, it will give licensees at least 90 days notice. After that point licensees will still be able to use the 3D Instant Website software to host web pages on their own or a third party's web-server.
