I was recently thinking about using them to host a simple website. This is the second time a company has stopped accepting Bitcoin right before I'm about to buy their shit and I don't have a credit card, Bitcoin is the only way I can pay. Oh well, hopefully it's just a temporary thing.

Yeah let's hope it's temporary thing .
By the way , what is this second copany that stopped using Bitcoin ? Wordpress is the first I heard off to be honest.

Quite likely they have simply have had so little business from it that they have decided it just isn't worth having.  Every extra "option" (be it payment or otherwise) is something that makes your website just that little more confusing to the masses so if it isn't bringing in any real extra profit then it would be sensible to remove it in order to keep your UI as simple as possible (why do you think credit cards have basically just been reduced to the two options over the years).

Some bitcoin-accepting companies have reported a lacklustre performance following the initial PR boost, with Overstock revising its sales figures from $10–$15m to $3m as purchases slowed in 2014.

Adoption is increasing they said, Cryptocurrency is revolutionary they said.

Everyone is hodling their precious coins, locking them in cold/paper wallets instead of spending them.
