Hello Webmasters

I tried to register another domain with my webhost, but it turned out it was already registered even though their site said it could be registered

So the issue is I was charged already, then they said there would be a refund but since over a month now, they haven't done that

They just keep posting me and now they've stopped replying completely!

Please what can I do
I registered a domain(OnlinejobsinAmerica .com) on "1 and 1 .com." suddenly, the domain disappeared from my account. I emailed customer services. They promised me a refund which I got within 48 hours!

Unfortunately, you can't. However, you can do a review of your experience on your own blog with proofs and screenshots, label them as a scam post and leave permanently on your blog. You'd be surprised the level of damage the said post will do later.

Meanwhile, ensure you have migrated before your works disappear without a trace.

Negative review about a host on a site that is being hosted by the bad host?

No let them take down your site. Remember your host has your files.

Best option is to stalk them on social media.

That's why I advice people to buy things online with PayPal, once the deal goes bad just charge back and get back your money.

1. Maybe it's time to move to a better one.
2. If they are on twitter, tag them with your complaint.
3. If you paid with your credit/debit card ask your bank to reverse transaction.

You should backup your site before doing any of the above

I design websites @ affordable prices.
how do you reverse transfer transaction?

This can only happen when you patronize cheap Nigeria hosting company.
I use a Nigerian host and this is my third year or so with the provider. I get massive support and my site barely goes down. The last time it did, they explained that they had issues at their data center. Trust me, there are incredible Nigerian web hosting companies and the one I use is superb!

I mentioned that he should migrate first before doing that. Stalk them and look like a psycho? On top of how much??

what if he doesn't have much visitors on his website or he prolly have clowns as visitor who doesn't give a f**k about reviews and all?
You don't need traffic to destroy a brand. All it takes is for one or two persons to see a bad review of a service and form their opinion from their. TrustPilot is the go to place for quality and service reviews because they are done on experience and you need to see how brands respond to almost all allegations leveled against them just because they know what is at stake.

I think the best way is if the host operate a blog or keep a community of users, then he can deastroy them better there. Even if they'd be deleting most of his comments/posts buh many would have seen the messages except they'd moderate posts/comments before making it visible and i'm sure an hosting company wouldn't have such time.
Doing this might make him look like a fierce competitor whose only interest is in bringing the business of others down.


Anyway op, if you have proof of payment, visit their office and threaten to go legal so you can get back your money after then you can deal with them by writing the right perfect review about their company.
What then happens if they don't have an office?

Why are Nigerians so cowardly like this? If you mention the host will they send DSS after you?
Re: How Do I Deal With My Dubious Web Host? by xperiencelove(m): 3:31pm On Nov 10, 2019
Hope it is not web4africa? It is the most useless webhost I have ever used. I pray you won't be their victim.
They are so dubious to the extent that they intentionally deactivated their live chat and responds to ticket whenever they like. A ticket may not get a response for 3 good days.

I bought a domain from web4africa and also hosted it there. After the payment the status was pending so I had to open a ticket.
They replied and said that the domain is no longer available (even though it was when I paid) and that I will be refunded. I have not heard from them since then. Have sent messages but no replies. What should I do?
