Netizens in the mid-late 2010s were certainly no strangers to the Zippyshare file hosting service. Like other hosting services, this site has become a subscription for users around the world thanks to the free service.
But unfortunately, bad news came from Zippyshare where they decided to close their service. Of course this news raises various reactions from netizens.
Zippyshare itself is a free file hosting service that has been operating since 2006. This closure is also not without an unclear basis. They gave a number of reasons why they are closing this server now.
According to the announcement provided on their site, Zippyshare disclosed reasons such as a lack of enthusiasts using their services. This is also because competitor services are getting better at providing file hosting services and are attractive to potential users.
Another reason is also because of the many adblockers that are now integrated into browsers in the form of add-ons or DNS. He also doesn't blame users for that but as we know, free services like this use revenue from advertising as the main backbone. If many use adblock, of course they cannot pay for the infrastructure they have used for hosting files such as servers.
The last major reason, according to them, is the increase in electricity prices in recent years. Where the price increase is said to have increased 2.5 times and with the large number of servers and revenue not enough to cover expenses, they were forced to close this service.
When Will Zippyshare Close?
Regarding when this site will close, they say 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 afterwards it cannot be accessed again once the closing date arrives.
That's the news regarding the closing of the legendary Zippyshare file hosting which will stop broadcasting at the end of March. Hopefully the team behind the service will be given the best afterwards.
