History
[edit | edit source]FileHippo was established in 2004 by the technology company, Well Known Media,[2] of Ramsey, Isle of Man.[3] The site added a news section in 2014.[4] FileHippo was estimated to be worth over US$13,000,000 in November 2015.[5]
Before Softonic acquired the FileHippo.com website, it was funded by user donations and third-party advertising,[1] had an Update Checker,[6][7] later renamed App Manager,[8][9] a free program that scanned a computer for outdated software and offered links to more recent versions, later redirecting to IObit Software Updater.[10][11][12]
Softonic acquired FileHippo.[citation needed] On 17 June 2020 the FileHippo home page formerly stated "© FileHippo s.r.o."[13] and since 3 July 2020, it states "Softonic International, S.A. holds the license to use the name and logo of Filehippo".[14]
