000webhost shutdown
Earlier this year, Hostinger announced the closure of its 000webhost brand, which provided free web hosting. It has now shut down all remaining 000webhost sites, resulting in the number of sites hosted at Hostinger dropping by just under 50% this month – from 15.3 million to 8.1 million.
Most of the sites Hostinger lost this month no longer exist – only around 114,000 moved to competitors.
