Removing from ASHC

Entries that are outdated, broken, or abandoned should be removed to keep the directory useful. Removal proposals follow the same issue → vote → PR → merge process as additions.

Removing a Hosting Provider

Process

1. Open an issue using the "Remove: Hosting Provider" template
2. The issue is automatically labeled remove: hosting-provider and status: proposed
3. The community votes with 👍/👎 over a 30-day window
4. A maintainer updates the label to status: accepted or status: rejected
5. If accepted, open a PR that removes the entry from Hosting Providers.toml at the repo root
6. Once the PR is merged, the issue is closed

Required justification

Provide at least 1 reason, such as:

• Abandoned or deprecated — link to evidence (e.g., a shutdown announcement, archived repo, or no activity in 2+ years)
• Broken or non-existent — the URL is broken or the product no longer exists
• Duplicate — the entry duplicates another listing already in the directory (reference the duplicate)

Removing a CMS

Process

1. Open an issue using the "Remove: CMS" template
2. The issue is automatically labeled remove: cms and status: proposed
3. The community votes with 👍/👎 over a 30-day window
4. A maintainer updates the label to status: accepted or status: rejected
5. If accepted, open a PR that removes the entry from Content Management Systems.toml at the repo root
6. Once the PR is merged, the issue is closed

Required justification

Provide at least 1 reason, such as:

• Abandoned or deprecated — link to evidence (e.g., a shutdown announcement, archived repo, or no activity in 2+ years)
• Broken or non-existent — the URL is broken or the product no longer exists
• Duplicate — the entry duplicates another listing already in the directory (reference the duplicate)
