In my opinion, Port Harcourt is a growing city as regards to Information Technology. Over the past years, most businesses have sourced web design and hosting services from outside the city and country.

Broaddrive Hosting Solutions carried out a research in April 2016 on Web Design and Hosting issues among 82 businesses in Port Harcourt. From 48 of those who have website issues, 56% agreed that they had "No support", 33% had "No contact" with their web design/hosting provider, and 11% did not see their website.

We have had to deal with crisis management for dissatisfied clients complaining about unreliable server, untimely support, no support at all and many more, handling cases of charlatans, blacklisting, SPAMming and frequent server outages concurrently for clients.

Our research continues. What has been your website design and hosting issue?
