This is a nice and interesting issue all webmasters should really take into account, @Op you have spoken well, this is one of the reason why successful website just get lost after the owner is off the earth. You can only achieve success if your website lives on after you are no more and this is a measure that Nigerian webmasters are not taking seriously. On like the webmasters abroad, the will do all it takes to keep their site online even if they die.

For example the famous guy with the Crip template used on SMF, his dying wish was for his friends to keep his site online as long as they can. Nigerian webmasters should be able to do same for what they have worked so hard to achieve. Just imagine, in 50 years time, you grand child look through your dairy and saw Nairaland.com and tried to access it and all that comes up is this site does not exist.

@Op, to do this, you will need to groom a family member that is also be interested in your website, or work with a trusted friend that is willing to live your website dream.

but what?

All you people who are complaining dont have popular blogs, but a successful webmaster like seun will always think about the future of his forum I am sure his NL team or family know his hosting details and NL admin pass otherwise thers going to be disaster, but then again if you just have a tiny website it doesnt matter you can go with it nobody cares there is no need to insult here
