Summary

We no longer offer file hosting as a service. Remove the /file_hosting page and every reference to it (nav, home pages, SEO metadata, sitemap, static assets) so the site stops advertising a product we don't sell.

Scope / files to change

File	Change
`company_site/public/urls.py:15`	Delete `path("file_hosting", views.file_hosting, name="file_hosting")`
`company_site/public/views.py:69-70`	Delete the `file_hosting` view
`company_site/public/templates/public/file_hosting.html`	Delete template
`company_site/public/templates/base.html:72,82`	Remove `Hosting` nav dropdown link and drop `file_hosting` from the active-state url_name list
`company_site/public/templates/public/new_index.html:222-225`	Remove the "File Hosting" service card
`company_site/public/templates/public/index.html:57-58`	Remove the File Hosting section (legacy home template)
`company_site/public/seo.py:67-71,107`	Remove the file_hosting page metadata entry and its sitemap entry
`company_site/public/static/public/img/file_hosting/` + `img/file_hosting_bg.jpg`	Delete unused images (~6 MB)

Notes

Search for any leftover file_hosting / "File Hosting" strings after the edits; {% url 'file_hosting' %} left anywhere will raise NoReverseMatch at render time.
Decide on a redirect: safest is a permanent redirect from /file_hosting to the services/home page so existing inbound links and search results don't 404. If we accept the 404 instead, note it here and let the sitemap change drive de-indexing.
Tianji events service_click (service="File Hosting") and service_cta (page="file_hosting") will stop firing; no dashboard cleanup required, just expect the series to end.

Acceptance criteria

/file_hosting no longer renders the marketing page (redirect or removed per decision above)
No "Hosting" entry in the nav dropdown, no File Hosting card on the home page
sitemap.xml and page metadata no longer list file hosting
No file_hosting references remain in Python or templates
Unused file hosting images deleted
public app tests pass
