My Experience With Hostgator by elyte(m): 12:36pm On Sep 16, 2015
Good day all

For few weeks now, I have been planning on how to enlarge my Internet business and how to add few others.

I tried hostgator to host my websites....

After paying with my credit MasterCard , they asked me to send my ID and the card I used to pay which I did.

I thought that was all till they asked me to submit one of a long list of documents .
I did the snapshot of the transaction statement mailed to me by my bank which was one of the things they required in the list.

They were not satisfied. They asked me to go to my bank to get a statement and scan to them

Imagine, just to deduct fund from my card for a service.

I have paid many times with the same card to bigger american Internet companies than hostgator.

I am really vexed.

Who has faced the same problem with hostgator?

My web developer friends what are you guys doing to alleviate this kind of problem?

It's high time strong and reliable Internet companies began to rise in Nigeria.

If you have hosted a website before, which host did you use?

Because we hate ourselves and anything from us. In short, an average Nigerian is suffering from low self-esteem.

I don't usually comment , just so you don't get scammed.
Local host is a web server hosted on your computer it is mostly used for development and not to host live websites.

To install local host just Google wamp or xamp download and install.

You can try godaddy.com, they don't give you that much stress. Just your card details and they debit and set things up for you. They also have coupons

I've never used them. I've only compared their prices.

I have two websites. www.nimini.com.ng and www.healthyfitnessreport.com and they are both hosted by Nigerian companies.

My brother, use a reliable Nigerian web host. why foreign host? a Nigerian web host will never request for such long documents please.

You can check my signature for website...our company is very reliable, look for one of our hosting plans that best suits your website, order it, make payment(online or direct deposit in Nigerian Naira), and your hosting account will be setup for you immediately..no long processes.

Regards.

The thing about Hostgator is, having used it myself, if you're starting a blog, just know that it's good enough in terms of her shared hosting.

And if there is need for upgrade when you grow then do well to go for VPS or cloud or better look for good alternatives.
