Case Study: Gate Foot Forge grows its blacksmithing business online with Hostinger

Gate Foot Forge Ancient Craft, Modern Approach

Gate Foot Forge, a blacksmithing business, required an online presence to move sales from third-party marketplaces like Etsy, which charged high commissions, to its own website. To achieve this, owner Owen Phillips needed a reliable and easy-to-use web hosting solution to build and manage the site, and he chose to implement it with Hostinger’s web hosting services.

Using Hostinger allowed Owen to easily set up and migrate his WordPress website, managing his hosting, domain, and SSL certificate all in one place without needing customer support. The results were significant, enabling direct customer connections and increased brand awareness. This shift to his own site allowed him to capture the full revenue from sales, such as shipping nearly 500 of his popular cooking tripods worldwide, and to expand his business by offering online bookings for workshops and commissions.
