Is Myspace Still Active? Yes, but Barely

Yes, Myspace is still active in 2026. The site is online, and you can still log in or create an account. But very little of the 2006 Myspace survives. Most music, photos and videos uploaded before 2015 were lost in a server migration the company admitted to in 2019, and its owners say a relaunch is coming with no date attached.

How active is Myspace, really?

Not very. We pulled Ahrefs search data to compare how much of Google Myspace showed up in before and after its long fade.

The interesting part is the gap between those two drops. Myspace lost nearly all of its search footprint, yet its search traffic fell much less. The visits that remain mostly come from people searching for Myspace itself, usually to find an old profile.

These numbers are search estimates, not total visitors. Still, the direction is clear: people come back to look, not to post.

Who owns Myspace now?

Myspace belongs to Viant Technology, the Nasdaq-listed ad tech company run by brothers Tim and Chris Vanderhook. Getting there took five changes of ownership.

The prices tell the story. Going from $580 million in 2005 to about $35 million in 2011 is a 94% drop in six years.

The 2011 buyers mostly wanted the data, not the social network. The Orange County Business Journal reported that Viant bought Myspace largely for its consumer data, which Time Inc. later said covered about 250 million unique users. The Vanderhooks took full control again in November 2019, according to Meredith’s announcement.

What year did they get rid of Myspace?

They never did, because Myspace has never shut down. It peaked in the mid-2000s, lost its audience to Facebook in the late 2000s, and has run in a much smaller form ever since.

The Vanderhooks tried a music-focused redesign in 2013. In a 2026 documentary, they admitted it didn’t feel like Myspace to users and turned into heavy losses.

Are all my old Myspace pictures gone?

Probably, if you uploaded them before 2015. In 2019, Myspace confirmed that photos, videos and audio uploaded more than three years earlier might no longer be available after a server migration, and it said the files couldn’t be recovered.

Tech writer Andy Baio estimated the loss at more than 50 million songs from 14 million artists, Rolling Stone reported. Your profile page may still exist even if the media doesn’t, and the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine sometimes holds snapshots of public profiles, so try your old profile URL there.

I forgot my Myspace password. What should I do?

Click Forgot Password on the Myspace sign-in page and enter your email or username, and a reset link will go to the email on file. If you’ve lost that email account, recover it through your email provider first, or contact Myspace through its help center with whatever account details you remember.

Is Myspace coming back?

Its owners say so. In Myspace, a documentary by Tommy Avallone that premiered at Toronto’s Hot Docs festival in April 2026, Tim Vanderhook said, “We still own Myspace,” and that a relaunch would come once the timing was right.

Fox Business reported that no target date has been set and that co-founder Tom Anderson isn’t expected to be involved. Coverage describes the pitch as a feed without the heavy algorithms behind apps like TikTok, whose scale shows in these TikTok usage statistics.

The skeptical view is hard to shake. The owner is an advertising technology company, its last relaunch lost money, and the thing people miss most, their music and photos from 2005, is the thing Myspace no longer has. Nostalgia can get people to sign up once. Getting them to come back daily to a site whose history was wiped is another matter.
