👉 "@Hostinger stopped thinking of itself as just a web hosting company years ago." Thats what @slazaravicius Lazaravičius told me right at the start of our interview. Hes now Chief Product Officer at Hostinger (promoted since we recorded the episode 🫡). This is exactly why I think this approach is one of the biggest reasons behind Hostingers success. The company grew its revenue by another 51% in 2025! Instead of just selling hosting and adding more tools on top, Hostinger is building its own products and making them work together. Websites, apps, domains, email, ecommerce, marketing and AI, all connected. In the episode we cover: 🔹Why Hostinger no longer sees itself as just a hosting company 🔹Competing with Lovable, Wix, Shopify and Vercel 🔹Why they prefer building products in-house 🔹2 million AI Agent conversations every month 🔹Why they avoid constant upsells 🔹How they decide what to build, improve or kill 🔹Making hosting and infrastructure accessible to AI agents ... and much more. I think there's a lot other hosting providers can learn here, especially those still competing mostly on price and traditional hosting features.

👉 Will AI make hosting invisible? I had the pleasure of talking with @suhaib__zaheer , SVP & GM of Managed Hosting at @digitalocean and GM of @Cloudways, about future of the industry. It is especially interesting because Cloudways became famous for managed WordPress hosting. Now both parts of that positioning are being challenged at the same time: - AI builders are creating a new generation of projects outside WordPress - AI is starting to take over much of the work that made hosting “managed” in the first place. That raises a bigger question for Cloudways and managed hosting in general. If AI can monitor, diagnose, fix problems and operate infrastructure in the background, what are customers actually paying a premium for? and that's what I asked Suhaib directly :) In this episode: 🔹What happens when AI does the managing 🔹Why hosters may be chasing the wrong AI opportunity 🔹Why Cloudways needs to think beyond WordPress 🔹Hosting without tickets, manual fixes or dashboards 🔹How AI agents may replace the traditional hosting interface 🔹... and MUCH more!
