Zippyshare Closure – Netizens in the mid-2010s era are certainly familiar with the file hosting service Zippyshare. Like other hosting services, the site has become a favorite of users around the world thanks to its free service.
Unfortunately, unpleasant news has come from Zippyshare, where they have decided to shut down their service.
Zippyshare File Hosting Service Shuts Down After 17 Years of Operation
Zippyshare itself is a free file hosting service that has been in operation since 2006. This closure is not without clear reasons. They provided several reasons for shutting down their servers.
According to the announcement on their website, Zippyshare revealed reasons such as a lack of interest from users in their service. This is also due to the fact that their competitors have been providing better file hosting services that are more attractive to potential users.
Another reason is due to the widespread use of adblockers, which are now integrated into browsers in the form of add-ons or DNS. They did not blame users for this, but as we know, free services like this rely on ad revenue as their main backbone. If many users use adblockers, they cannot afford to pay for the infrastructure they have been using to host files, such as servers.
Their last big reason is the rise in electricity prices in recent years. The price increase is stated to have increased by 2.5 times, and with many servers and insufficient revenue to cover expenses, they were forced to shut down the service.
When Will Zippyshare Shut Down?
Regarding when the site will shut down, they stated that they will stop all services by the end of March 2023. Users are also expected to back up their data from the server because they will not be able to access it anymore once the closing date arrives.
That is the news related to the closure of the legendary file hosting service Zippyshare, which will stop operating at the end of this month. Hopefully, the team behind the service will be given the best after this.
