Amazon is removing the Parler social media service from its web servicers, BuzzFeed News reported Saturday night.
If Parler cannot find another hosting service once the ban takes effect Sunday, Parler will go offline, Buzzfeed reported.
The news comes after Apple and Google Play removed the app from their stores.
Parler has been used increasingly by conservatives amid what they see as increasing censorship by Twitter. Twitter permanently banned President Donald Trump on Friday for tweets it said violated its rules of inciting violence.
Concervatives have said the ban is a stifling of free speech.

Mesut Ozil has added fuel to the fire he could leave Arsenal for Fenerbahce by revealing he supported the club as a child and dubbing them Turkey’s version of Real Madrid. The German is into the final six months of his £350,000-a-week contract, but could leave Arsenal this month. MLS side DC United and Fenerbahce are interested in Ozil, who is yet to make a final decision over his future.
Apple has suspended Parler, a conservative social media service, from its App Store, saying the app’s owner hasn’t done enough to deal with threats of violence on the platform. Meanwhile, Amazon dealt the service a potential death blow by kicking it off its web hosting service, citing the same reason, BuzzFeed News reported.
