BrandKing:

It goes beyond using them, it is more about them having wonderful Customer service relations.

Zenith is one of the best banks in Nigeria but so many people closed down their accounts with them to less prestigeous banks because of their poor customer service.

Noted sir!

Gigalayer guys are customer friendly too, at least, to me

Your hosting company isnt among the best 25 in the country self.
How many domains do you have currently registered under you bro ? IM guessing less than 40 cheesy
You sound like a very [size=4pt]hungry[/size] man...And a very funny one too .

Well I have made it clear... this is not cannibalism, we are only offering an OPTION to businesses hindered. My post could be amateur, accepted (i'm not a forum expert). But either ways, I apologize sincerely for it and anybody who finds it bizarre inclusive of Syskay!

Syskay is still down and we can move out all the sites that are affected. But it's option to the affected site owners, to move or wait till Syskay resumes.

@el_nino
Thank you for your emphasis too.

I NEED TO MOVE SOME DOMAIN FROM SYSKAY. CAN YOU MOVE ALREADY EXISTING DOMAIN NAME WITHOUT THE EPP CODE SINCE SYSKAY IS NOT RESPONDING TO TICKET TO REQUEST FOR IT.

Below is what someone posted on another Syskay thread :

"Thumbs up DualCore. Wish you re nearby so I can buy you a drink for this.

I was able to log in to my domain management dashboard few minutes ago and from there, I can easily change nameservers whenever I want to. Hence, I think everyone hosting with Syskay should be able to do that."

Have you tried to log in to your domain management dashboard like the person above did?
Re: Syskay's Outage - Quick Solution! by elnino3(m): 9:34am On Feb 18, 2013
the syskay's situation is sad we all know.
even as a webhost i had two sites with them sometime ago and they were paid for in years so when this thing happened i just had to point my name servers to my site.
what i can do is this. for anyone that cannot wait for syskay issue to be resolved go to login to d mgt panel and point your nameservers to us and then create account with us. we will create an account with us and you transfer your files. but the following conditions apply.

1. This is not syskay, but rather someone trying to help you out with your present situation.
2. this offer is not valid for porn, gambling, betting, suicides and hate sites.
3. you must be able to login to syskay and point your nameservers to ns1.apexbytes.com and ns2.apexbytes.com, and you must also be ready to upload your files and the size should not be greater than 500Mb
4. this offer is for those that already have active sites not for new customers
5. You are under no obligation to remain with us after syskay has come back.

N.B this is absolutely free and with no strings attached whatsoever, but its only for 15 sites alone, if you dont like it fine but if you do, visit http://www.apexbytes.com and create your account and in the additional information area please enter that you are a client from syskay.

Just think of it as accepting a free ride from someone after your car broke down on a highway.

If you have any issues please call me directly on +2348086174521

New customers are welcomed as well

UPDATE @ 2:57pm: The Syskay SEVER on hostname akure.syskay.com has gone totally blackedout and we can no longer move any more site on that server at the moment.cry
Re: Syskay's Outage - Quick Solution! by Nobody: 5:12pm On Feb 18, 2013
Thank you rufaai for your concern about helping us...but there is an issue on your website about the SSL certificate. What is the answer to this?

Re: Syskay's Outage - Quick Solution! by akonyet(m): 9:34pm On Feb 18, 2013
syskay is BACK!!!!! site are now responding
Re: Syskay's Outage - Quick Solution! by WordPresser(m): 1:30am On Feb 19, 2013
I just tried out your timely offer. What's EPP code? and you said "this needs to be obtained from the current registrar for authorisation" How do you want us to get this code knowning fully well that syskay.com will not disclose that information. undecided
Re: Syskay's Outage - Quick Solution! by WordPresser(m): 1:52am On Feb 19, 2013
Thank God! syskay.com is back, 5 of my websites are up and running now, just remaining one...I almost pay back 30k to a client, and a client almost gave me hypertension. That was too close. I think hosting firms in Nigeria should take a cue from this. No matter the situation, there should be an alternative measure, and syskay should not operate as one team one man hosting wizard. If something bigger happens to him, that means we all lose including him. We should always have a conditional statement "if" in all our business endeavours just like my programmers friends here will love to code it in their IDE'S happily... wink. So far so good,test of patience is what I can inferred.

I know syskay will come back soonest and I gave some of my clients 3 options; to wait, get a new domain or go by gigalayer.com (wow! giga aggressive)! or last resort pay back their money. For me, its high time I get my WHM even if its for few site I will be rest assure that if its down, most of the site in the world will also be down as well...(signs of end time grin).

Finally, good work done syskay, you are superb but don't allow this mess again, please take adequate precaution and if you don't know how, go get yourself pmp training with PMtutors (Dipo Tepede coy) and you will learn about risk management or risk all you have worked for. Cheers you all...3 gbosa to nairaland!!!

@wordpresser you didn't need an epp code Cos you were not transferring the domain..u were simply pointing it to another server... now that they are back I hope you guys have learnt a thing or two.. make weekly backups to an off site location...especially Cms sites...

I know this is late. But after going through all the comments, I decided to clear the air. I found out that everyone was against the OP. This is unfortunate. Because it pains me that nigerians are mixing business with sentiments. Even those that claimed to be brand and marketing professionals did not even see that the OP is fulfilling a marketing law that says: 'your competitor's weakness is your strength.' We must know that our competitors are our 'enemies.' I want all of u to find any book by Laura Ries and read. So if MTN network shuts down now, GLO will lead a campaign preaching to MTN subscribers to wait till MTN comes back? Then Adenuga will be among foolish people on earth.
