Whogohost Deleted My Website And Backups. There Is Nothing I Can Do About It. by Blazing99: 4:14pm On Aug 11, 2016
Hello .......,



On the 9th of August, we reported a hardware failure on one of our servers "chicken server” which has led to a couple sites on the server being unavailable.

It pains us deeply to inform you that the failure has led to the irrevocable loss of all or some files (including backups) which will prevent your site from working. We’ve traced the cause to a technical failure which was noticed too late.

Affected domain: ...........com.ng

We are deeply sorry and we know that there is nothing we can say or do to compensate enough for the loss of your files and information. Over the course of today, tomorrow and the next, a senior staff of Whogohost will be reaching out to you via phone to discuss/collaborate with you on possible options to get your site back online.

You have trusted us with your website, and we’ve failed you. This is the biggest tragedy and first of its kind that this company has faced in its 9 years of existence.

We have determined to invest more in backups of backups across locations to ensure that in the event of a natural disaster or unforeseen circumstances, we can still beat our chests to say you will have your site back up in no time.

We want to plead with you - do not let this shape your experience or opinion about WhoGoHost. This will never repeat itself and you can be assured of the best customer-centric services as usual.

Should you want to discuss further rather than wait for the call, you can email me, the CEO directly via ceo@whogohost.com and I will be more than happy to discuss with you.

WE ARE VERY SORRY.

--
Toba O.
CEO, Whogohost Limited

So you host on a Nigerian webhost, they mishandle your site. You lose all your data including your emails and there is nothing you can do? Are we not doomed in this country because of these incompetent bunch? They called me and all they told me was sorry. Is thete anyone here affected too?

Maybe, they told you sorry so that they would be "first to comment." No mind me o.

But how dem go do you this kind strong thing and only say common "Sorry". Like say sorry go put money for your table if you are already making money with it. They eff up big time.

My site was equally affected! All they could do was to say SORRY! The sorry aggravated my anger even more knowing there's nothing they can do about it. Too bad for our local content! Made a switch to bluehost. In this case, the devil I don't know is better than the one I know.

I have advised all my clients to go for foreign hosts. They know what hosting is all about unlike the quacks here. So far these bloody Nigerian webhosts have screwed me in a way or the other
