Pls How Genuine Is WEB4AFRICA? by Nobody: 9:50am On May 09, 2013
Pls I want to know if anybody has done any biz with a company known as web4Africa. The company claims to be in Ghana and Nigeria. There are telephone nos at the site but u cannot get through any of the local nos and when you want to send email to them you cannot do so unless you go to their website to fill form. Has anybody in the house done any biz with the company? Thank for ur response

If you have a Mastercard, go for domain.com or siteground.com
Don't waste your money.
You are warned.

Graphicplus, if you do not have useful info or personal experience about W4A and its services its best not to cause any confusion presenting personal preferences as standards.
Re: Pls How Genuine Is WEB4AFRICA? by GraphicsPlus(m): 4:49pm On May 09, 2013
We all have read here on NL tons of ugly issues involving web4africa.

Every business has problems. What matters is how a business deals with its problems. If W4A hasn't been dealing with its problems to a reasonable degree they would have been forced to sign off the industry. If a business doesn't encounter any problems in its lifetime, that is a problem in itself.

When you have no idea what happens behind the stage of a business, try not to go upstage addressing its audience.

@graphicplus, why do u enjoy spoiling other people business.
Dont say wat u dont know abt W4A.
Re: Pls How Genuine Is WEB4AFRICA? by GraphicsPlus(m): 10:03am On May 10, 2013
@Greenmouse, am not spoiling anybody`s business. Check out myriads of ugly reports about web4Africa.
But after reading DualCore`s posts of Forum`s reviews of some supposed super web hosting companies, I now know that somehow people`s opinions and experiences can be biased especially on forums. Check out my comment on the last thread by one Activeman on Web4Africa. I actually said it`s wrong for him to rush here and tell us that Web4Africa is nothing to write home about, and then turn around asking mod to delete the thread. I have no issues with any web hosting company. I dont even know their ceos. What is worth doing is worth doing well.

Re: Pls How Genuine Is WEB4AFRICA? by desoba2: 5:35am On Aug 06, 2013
Do not register your domain through web4africa! These guys are incompetent and unresponsive. I registered a domain and I can't even edit CNAME or upload a HTTPL file in order to verify my domain to enable my email or website with any other webhost. Web4africa uses whmcs which gives you no control in changing dns, cname, etc. and you have to rely on their technical support, which has been non-existent for the last 3 weeks as their standard reply is...
Please hold on. We are forwarding this ticket to concerned department.

They will update you soon.

Warm regards,

Web4Africa Technical Support......

and then nothing!!!!! Stay away from these guys - they are a scam! I could have lost my job because I am still not able to set up email (because I can't change dns) on the domain registered through them and its difficult to explain to my boss!

Not sure about the company you are inquiring about, but here we go;

If you are truly seeking a quality Nigeria web hosting company with all the bells and whistles, HostNigeria! is all you want.

Why patronise web hosting companies or any company for that matter, that don't even pay taxes here in Nigeria ?
With all due respect, at HostNigeria we pay our own share of taxes contributing to our own economy not carting it away.

Not dissing anybody here, unlike many web hosting companies here in Nigeria, we don't jump on the bandwagon, we are CIW qualified webmasters, 4 staff with over 18 years of experience and we have 2 interns.

We offer great web hosting services with convenient payment terms, 30 day full money back guarantee and a true 24/7 customer support, what have you got to loose ? try us out and see for yourself. You can pay with cash, HostNigeria credit, debit or credit card via QuickTeller and PayPal

We have a few clients here that can testify to the quality of our services. We don't play games with you, your time, your money and business.

We are just happy to provide you quality service that will help your business stand out.

I hope this helps.

I have over 20 domains registered with them.

Re: Pls How Genuine Is WEB4AFRICA? by okoro2much: 7:14pm On Jul 14, 2016
Stay away from those guys. They are very popular in South Africa, but for some reasons unknown to me, thry disregard their Nigerian customers.

I bought a domain from from them (only 3k), it took me 2 day for it to get activated (after I sent them a lot of emails and open tickets). Then it took another two weeks before their servar was working well. Each time you log into my website, you get a Error 500 and Error 304 page beacsue their .htaccess file is corrupt.

Then one day someone made a complain about my website (an enemy of mine) and because they are prejudic, they pul it down! My website gone, the domain is saying I registered with them so I can't even reclaim it for another year and 90 days. I contacted them challenging their action and demaning a refune plus they free my uniqe domain name. They where shy to reply and instead remove my account from their cliant list. If I try to login to their cliant area, it says my email address is not registered.

They have prejudic against Nigerians. I want to report them to cunsumer protection agency. THEY ARE FRAUD!

Hey Chinenye, Just got to sign into Nairaland after almost a year. Yes the issue got sorted out after some more days. I guess they just take their sweet time in securing your domain purchases
