Fosshost project volunteers announced the development this weekend following months of difficulties in reaching the leadership including the CEO.
Users are being urged to immediately backup their data and migrate to alternative hosting platforms.

An abrupt shut down, unreachable CEO, lack of funds
UK-based non-profit Fosshost has been providing services to several high profile open source projects like GNOME, Armbian, Debian and Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) completely free of charge. But that will soon change as the project reaches end of life.

As of this week various fosshost.org links are are returning 404 (not found) error messages as the service is on its way out.

"At this time, Fosshost is deeply sorry to announce we are no longer able to continue offering our services," states a notice seen today by BleepingComputer on fosshost.org website.
"Due to circumstances outside of the control of the Fosshost volunteers, we are now in a situation where we cannot guarantee our servers will stay online, and in fact expect them to go offline shortly."
