After HotScripts has shut down in 2018, what are the top alternatives of script directories?
As most of you may already know or have noticed, the most popular script directory website HotScripts.com has shut down and being redirected currently to webhostingtalk.com.
HotScripts.com was the world's number 1 software and web scripts directory launched back in 2000 and having thousands of useful resources and web scripts grouped in different categories and programming languages like PHP, ASP.NET, Java and others. The website was operated by iNET Interaction, which was sold previously to the US Penton company and which was bought recently by the UK's Informa company, the new owner has decided to shut down the website and redirect to another website they own - webhostingtalk.com
