History
Angelfire launched in 1996 and was originally a combination website building and medical transcription service. The site dropped the transcription service and focused solely on website hosting, offering only paid memberships.[1]
Angelfire was acquired by WhoWhere in October 1997. WhoWhere was acquired Lycos in August 1998, for US$133 million.[2][3]
The service was shut down in April 2026.[4]
