We really do not have any way to remove your past website from search results--the search engines control that, not us. It will likely get removed the next time that the search engines attempt to index the website. The website is deleted in our system, as Brian mentions.

What some clubs have done in the past is to keep the FTH website for a short while with a link to the new website on the FTH home page. That way, website traffic is gradually redirected to the new website, and the link in the home page helps the new website get into search results. However, as you apparently did not do that, the situation is as you see it.

Did you update your Find a Club listing so that it directs people to your new website? It does not look like it--it looks like your Find a Club listing is still directing people to the FTH website, not your new one. :pinch:

Requests to load invalid toastmastersclubs.org websites are redirected to the FreeToastHost 2 welcome page, that is why basel.toastmastersclubs.org goes to the welcome page--it is not a valid FTH website. This is the way it always has been, and I do not believe we intend to change that.
