Note that it is anonymous: nobody takes responsibility, hidden behind a "we'.
Also note at the end the disgusting 
We truly appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for being a valued customer. 

Now who owns Typepad? Google tells us:
TypePad is being shut down by its owner, Newfold Digital, which acquired it from Endurance International Group. Previously, TypePad was owned by Endurance International Group and before that by SAY Media after Six Apart merged with VideoEgg. Newfold Digital also owns Bluehost, to which TypePad has been redirecting new signups since 2020. 
OK, who owns Newfold Digital?
Newfold Digital is a joint venture jointly owned by Clearlake Capital Group and Siris Capital GroupClearlake Capital Group acquired Endurance International Group (EIG), and then partnered with Siris Capital to form Newfold Digital, which merged Endurance's web presence services with Web.com Group. 
Newfold Digital's website does not even mention Typepad! Transparency!
