On July 7th, 2024, 000webhost, a pioneer in free web hosting, announced that they will be ceasing operations. Over the coming months, they will gradually wind down their services, with a complete shutdown scheduled for October 14th, 2024. This means that all websites hosted on 000webhost’s platform will be permanently taken offline by that date.
End of an Era: 000webhost’s Legacy
For the past 17 years, 000webhost has been one of the largest free web hosting brands in the world, and many experienced free hosting users have used their services at some point. For many people, 000webhost was the starting point to learn programming and building websites.
Why Is 000webhost Shutting Down?
According to 000webhost’s official announcement, the primary reason for their closure is the evolving nature of the web hosting industry. As the market has developed, users increasingly demand more advanced features, better performance, and enhanced security, which are challenging to provide under a free hosting model.
InfinityFree’s Perspective
At InfinityFree, we believe that there is still a significant and enduring demand for free web hosting. We understand that not everyone needs or can afford premium hosting services, especially when they are just starting a business, experimenting with new ideas, or learning the basics of website management.
