I run a store and have been wondering whether people are starting to treat AI discovery as an actual channel or if it is still too early? Prior to AI, strategy was pretty clear for me. Focusing on SEO, paid ads, marketplaces, and emails. But now it feels like more buyers are using chatgpt or other AI to look for buying recommendations.

Are people adjusting to this change or is this still one of those trends that will fade? Would be interested to hear if anyone has seen actual traffic, conversions or product mentions coming from AI tools and what strategies you apply.

Im thinking of moving away from the usual large hosting companies and trying a smaller EU provider instead. Main priorities for me are stable uptime, decent support, and pricing that doesnt spike after the first term. Hosting mainly business websites and smaller projects so I dont need enterprise level infrastructure.

Any recommendations for alternatives?
