thanks Naijaecash,
that’s a great article from you.

It is not advisable to just jump unto hosting services without a simple and personal research about the site services.

and one need to read their TOS (Terms of Service) first.

I too was weary of nigerian web hosts, but a friend introduced me to qservers.net, 3 years and 5 websites later, still there with no worries. Nigerian hosting companies are OK, if you get the right one. I’m happy i can go to an web hosts office in lagos instead of a host in US, where i can’t go in case of an emergency.

No vex. That comment was written when I was still boiling with anger. I do have a couple of websites with nigerian web hosts (Syskay and Web4africa).

P.S: Utiware still remains cr*p to me!

Great articles keep it up.

@ Chukwudi

That you had a problem with Utiware does not mean all Nigerian host companies are like that.

I think this blog post was probably a awesome start to a potential series of articles about this topic. Most bloggers act like they understand what they are talking about when it comes to this stuff and most of the time, nearly no one actually get it. You seem to really dominate it however, so I think you should take it and run. Thank you!

This is one hell of a comprehensive post on web hosting. Really detailed and I’m jealous. lol. I’ve got something similar scheduled on my blog but it ain’t as good as this one.

If you’ve got the money go with Hostgator. They are quite pricey but TOTALLY reliable. The only setback is that you’ll be subject to screening as a Nigerian. I ordered using Zenith Mastercard Websurfer but the order was rejected until I presented scanned copies of my international passport and mastercard websurfer. It’s been almost 8 months now and I’ve got absolutely no complains about them. Emails get responded in as little as minutes in some cases. I’ve even prepaid for another year of hosting with them.

Beware of Nigerian web hosts. I was trying to launch a blog focused on solely Nigerians and decided to go with Utiware.net’s 3,500 naira offer. Till date, I’ve been unable to install wordpress and their customer service has been useless. It’s been 2 weeks since I asked for a refund and nothing yet. At a point I was even insulted that I didn’t know my way around the net and that their servers were in top condition only for them to turn around and apologise that they were having some techical difficulties, which BTW are yet to be fixed. I thank God I only lost 3,500 naira to them but I’ll definitely be blogging about them to warn others.
Shine your eyes well well oh!

P.S: 100% uptime guarantee doesn’t exist as far as I know. It’s more like 99.99% uptime guarantee.

P.S: Your blog is the first Nigerian blog that really demands my respect and I’ll be adding you to my blogroll soon. Most Nigerian MMO blogs are just filled with sales pitches here and no real value. Will definitely stay subscribed to your blog’s feeds.

@mma
I agree with you that the response time of a web hosting company is very crucial.
If the support service of a webhosting company sucks, nothing can make up for it.

I think one of the most important aspects of a good webhost is their support team and how responsive they are. Dreamhost is best support in my opinion, they answer emails right away.

@ADAMA J. ADAMA,
I think there are many people used Hostgator even they’re from other countries, Hostgator is reliable and you can try this, I’m going to subscribe too.

I mean to say “you will be bombarded with emails and aggressive follow up for upgrade.

I agree with you Niyyie. But you would withstand their marketing pressure to for upgrade. I’m speaking out of experience.
