Parler announces it is back online with new hosting service By Talia Kaplan After more than a month offline, the social media platform Parler relaunched using a new web hosting service, the company announced on Monday. Parler, which has more than 20 million users and was first launched in August 2018, is currently back online for current users and will be available for new users starting next week, the company said. "Parler’s new platform is built on robust, sustainable, independent technology," a news release said. The return was not without hiccups. The site appeared to experience technical difficulties following the announcement. Inquiries to Parler by FOX Business were not returned.
