9ja Hoster is not a fraud !
These are the explanation behind hostcoal situation.

Hostcoal opt for "super alpha master reseller" when this plugin was at a beta level, unfortunately, everything works well for her except that the zamfoo reseller plugin refuse to work on her account, we opened ticket for her at zamfoo helpdesk for them to resolve her case. But she had no patience maybe because she advertised her business before setup was complete and she is eager to have it running.

She never opt for refund but threatened to blackmail if the situation was not fixed, since the issue is not the server's fault but a third party plugin there was less we can do for her while the issue is being fixed by zamfoo (the reseller plugin vendor).

when the issue was fixed, she was sent an email and she was called several times to make her know that it was fixed. Afterwards she only replied the email saying that she has gone somewhere else.

How is this a fraud ?


DEFINITION OF TERMS FOR NEWBIES:

1)SUPER ALPHA MASTER RESELLER : This is a kind of web hosing reseller system whereby you can have several multi level reseller under you while you are a reseller also.

2)Zamfoo : This is the vendor of the reseller plugin that is being used to power super alpha reseller, alpha reseller and master reseller Hosting

3)beta Level: This is a stage of software development before the stable version whereby the software is released to the public for usage (not recommended for production Site) so that users can report defects which will be fixed in the stable version
