Never You Host Your Site With Smartweb.com.ng by Dhilariousdandy(m): 11:36pm On Apr 14, 2016
My fellow Nairalanders'... Please who among you guys is hosting there web on this motherfucker good for nothing web host (Smartweb)??


Honestly speaking, this host is nothing but oversellers , there service is not something to write home about.

I 1st hosted my phpbb forum with this host, my forum wont be active for more than 30min, it will automatically shot down, by then, i thought is from phpbb, after all i have done to resolve the issue with hope its from phpbb software no avail..

OK, I decided to switch to SMF, the problem still persist, my site usually goes offline for up to 45 mins, it sually displays....

Connection Problems, Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Please whoever that is using this host, bear it in mind that very soon your website won't be yours again.. Cos it has been clarify that they are nothing but oversellers

I'm really regretting why I hosted my site with them..

Please can someone suggest an affordable and reliable web host to switch to

are you sure that's the reason they blocked? As long as you are using different emails there should be no issues.

Ya, that's the reason, but I'm suggesting that may be, because I accessed the site with the same browser, they might have noticed two different account in one IP..

Thanks so much sir, but there's a big problem now, i can't access my cpanel, my ftp refuses to log me in,,, the site himself is not connecting to the server www.Guruzworld.com

I don't know the cause of all this.., I have contacted them, and they said that they will get back to me, I'm still waiting for there reply thoo...

And the critical part is that, I don't have any available backup, I don't know whether it will be that easy to restore the site...?

And please sir, I'm interested in that VPS, I will appreciate if you can put me through...

Thanks..

Your name server is doveserver this is a reseller account from either smartweb or any new upcoming. No offense but if U want to get reliability and be free as air go for your own vps. When ppl hear of vps they scream because U think that the ripped off vps you get from all the sub resellers of cpanel worth it? Snap out of it.. what made it so costly is the pay for they mgt which you may not need again after setup and cpanal 15$ monthly payment they include all and it will b hiked to 45-70$ depending on company. Lol I laugh hard in seeing it. Infact with your own vps and open source control panel you can host ad many site as you Wang even have a hosting account for other clients and the catch is that you don't Need to pay for those hikedup price with 45-50 use you can get a year vps hosting that will rock.. My site Afripals has been the mother of it but I let it out of view if U check my nameserver you will see it's costume. Ns1.Afripals.com Tis is one unique feature U will get. Also U get two or more dedicated ips... if you no what it means... enough just do it yourself by ordering any cheap plan in this portal dedicated for affordable vps www.lowendbox.com if you want me to help you.

also note that if your website is hosted by smartweb only Nigerians will enjoy your website while people in abroad might have issues visiting your website.but if you are targeting another country or worldwide its better you go for foreign servers.most foreign servers are expensive ,especially when you convert it from their currency to naira but I have found the cheapest....

Yes, This is very frustrating things. Not only share web but many companies doing the same things with their clients. I have such frustrating experience in my old days. Old days mean when I was a learner.

Friend, I tried many hosting companies some are good and some have average experience. I suggest you no go for Brands because they have a huge customer base so if something wrong with you or you tell them to leave your company then they never mind. They simply say yes you can go.

Currently, I host my 5 clients website on https://www.bytenap.com they are good as we talk about the support, even it is cheap and can migrate your website to their server without any single cost. I always prefer to transfer or host my client's website on the server. As I am a non-technical guy so...

Next time, I hope you find a good hosting provider.

Before you use any hosting services, make thorough investigation about that host. Check for people's reviews and if you didn't see any, then you shouldn't use it.
