Folks,I need a very reliable service provider in Port Harcourt.

Would appreciate any tips in that respect.

www.mcreal.net is based in Port Harcourt.

Just in case you choose to settle for a Hosting Provider outside Port Harcourt, you can give www.syskay.com a try.

@Syskay,
Many thanks for the info.
I just checked out mcreal website and the price list I saw there is simply outreageous - about 400% above the industry rate.
Please, do you know of a MORE SENSIBLE PH-based service provider. I would have loved to sign up with your enterprise but I really need a service provider that is based in PH.

Will you prefer a PH based web hosting company that charges ok (by your standards) but with unreliable services to an non PH based web hosting provider with very reliable web hosting company?

What advantages lie with a PH based hosting provider? If you ask me I will say none without any equivocations whatsoever.

I host more than 100 websites and my web hosting company is in the US and I do not have any problems whatsoever.

Just thinking aloud here.

I will rellay like to know what the advantages are (if any) as I may learn a thing or two from those advantages.

I did not know mcreal's charges were very expensive. This is

I just checked out McReal's site, and I am not sure what you guys mean by expensive. A 200mb plan for N10,000 per year seems okay now. Am I missing something?

Web4Africa offers 100MB hosting for N2600 annually plus a free domain name. See http://www.web4africa.net
